The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., currently the sixth largest bank in the United States, is a leader in green design, currently possessing over 100 green buildings. PNC was an early adopter of sustainable design, opening its first green building in 2000. PNC and Gensler have recently announced plans to design and construct the world’s most environmentally friendly skyscraper at PNC’s headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More information and images after the break.
Expected for completion in 2015, the approximately 40-story building will be home to PNC’s executive offices, housing 3,000 employees. Once completed, the Tower’s size, approximately 800,000 square feet, will make it the largest building in Pittsburgh. Contingent plans include roughly 300 underground parking spaces, street level retail, and green rooftops.
