Cranes from local general contractor return to the site this week and steel beam framing is expected to resume within the next few days. The seven-story, four-star Landing Hotel Pittsburgh will include 219 guest rooms and will attach to the existing casino on the east facade. The project is expected to generate 1,400 construction jobs and about 128 permanent jobs once it opens.

The Landing Hotel Pittsburgh, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh’s $60 million hotel project, has restarted construction after a 15-month pause amid COVID-19 safety protocols.

This week cranes from local general contractor Massaro Corporation will return to the site and steel beam framing is expected to resume within the next few days.

The development’s restart activates approximately 1,400 temporary construction jobs. When The Landing Hotel opens, likely in 2022, about 128 new permanent jobs will be added to Rivers’ ranks.

Bud Green, assistant general manager of Rivers Casino Pittsburgh commented: “We’re excited to get The Landing Hotel Pittsburgh back underway. It’s been a long time coming, and we’re eager to add this new hospitality venue to our North Shore offerings.”

Steve Massaro, president of Massaro Corporation noted: “We’re very proud to be part of the city’s economic reboot. The Landing Hotel will be a perfect complement to Rivers Casino and welcome new addition to Pittsburgh’s skyline.”

The seven-story, four-star property will include 219 guest rooms and will attach to the existing casino on the east facade. The hotel’s groundbreaking ceremony took place in August 2019.

The Landing Hotel will feature expansive windows on every level with unobstructed views of the three rivers, the fountain at Point State Park, and Mount Washington.

"Included among the guest rooms are 10 luxury terrace suites, each with private first-floor patios. A contemporary interior and exterior design, consistent with Rivers Casino’s upscale urban aesthetic, will integrate beautifully with the casino and seamlessly with other North Shore venues," highlighted the company in a press release.
