Gateway Towers is a 26-story mixed-use high-rise located beside Point State Park, Gateway Center, Wyndham Grand Hotel, and Allegheny Riverfront Park in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [3] Constructed between late 1962 and mid-1964, it was built as a luxury apartment and executive office building by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. [2]

During 1979–1980, it was converted to luxury condominiums by Commonwealth Fort. [5] By 1987, the 94 remaining units were sold by auction. [6] The building underwent a $3 million capital improvement in 2006. [3] Overall, it has 560,000 square feet (52,000 m2) in 308 residential units. [3]
