From www.RugbyRealty.comMost recently, Rugby has focused on a number of projects in and around Pittsburgh's revitalized Cultural District. The Gulf Tower, a 594,000 square foot historic landmark office building, was purchased vacant from the Gulf Oil Company in 1987. After completely renovating the building, occupancy was brought to over 92%. Eight other historically significant buildings were then purchased in the Cultural District including the Ewart Building and the May Stern Buildings. In 2005, Rugby began the historical renovation of 930 Penn Avenue into a 42,000 square foot, high-end, luxury apartment building with underground parking. By combining the unique architectural characteristics of these historic buildings with state-of-the-art renovations, Rugby has been able to create a strong demand for their space.
