The Waterfront is a super-regional open air shopping mall spanning the three boroughs of Homestead, West Homestead and Munhall near Pittsburgh. The shopping mall sits on land once occupied by U.S. Steel's Homestead Works plant, which closed in 1987. It has a gross leasable area of convert|700000|sqft|m2 in "The Waterfront" and convert|400000|sqft|m2 in "The Town Center." The development officially opened in 1999. More development continued into the early 21st century.

The Waterfront is accessible from the Parkway East via the Homestead High-Level Bridge, now known as the Homestead Grays Bridge. Pennsylvania Route 837, which runs through the town of Homestead also connects drivers to The Waterfront.

History

From its storied past, only smokestacks remain on the site that once helped to give Pittsburgh the name "Steel City."

In 2005, Industrial Workers of the World celebrated what was the 100th anniversary of the steel industry's beginnings in America, most notably the Pittsburgh area. The local celebration included events held at the Pump House on the site of The Waterfront. [ [http://www.thetartan.org/2005/10/17/news/homestead The Tartan Online : Homestead history remembered ] ]

On land now serviced by the retail industry, The Homestead Works, owned by Andrew Carnegie, was the site of what's referred to as the "Battle of Homestead." The battle, led by local ironworkers went strong for 95 days before most of the union workers returned to their jobs.

Kaufmann's prototype

In 2002, Kaufmann's parent company, May Co., announced it would construct a scaled down version of its department store at The Waterfront. It was the first of its kind in the now-defunct department store company. On Sept. 9, 2006, Kaufmann's became part of the Macy's company.

The store remains open but has been replaced with the Macy's nameplate. It remains one of the smaller Macy's department stores in the chain.
