 In December 2000, businesses in
Lawrenceville and the Strip District joined together with the Lawrenceville
Corporation
to promote a new
destination in Pittsburgh: the 16:62 Design Zone, Pittsburgh’s
arts and design district.
Our design district takes its name from
the bridges that serve as its boundaries: the 16th Street Bridge
in the Strip District and the 62nd
Street Bridge in Lawrenceville. Between these two bridges, visitors
can find a distinctive blend of more than 90 specialty shops, artisan studios, unique showrooms, and architectural and interior design firms--all devoted to design and home decor. Discover contemporary art, handcrafted furniture, fine antiques, custom cabinetry, and innovative architectural concepts along with stylish shops and professional services focused on design--including fashion, jewelry, and personal accessories.
Our cooperative marketing program has received local and national
recognition for its achievements in helping our neighborhood grow
by attracting new businesses and customers to Lawrenceville
and the Strip. Read more in our News section.
