The Meridian is East Pittsburgh’s newest shopping, eating, and living destination, located at the highly desirable corner of Shady & Penn Avenues. The 5 acres nestled at “main and main” will include a 36,000 square foot Market District by Giant Eagle with an additional 38,000 square feet of retail, restaurants, and services on the ground level. The residential portion of the project will consist of 231 apartments to help satisfy the neighborhood’s demand for housing. Patrons of The Meridian will have free short-term onsite parking.

Penn Avenue is one of the primary streets through the city of Pittsburgh, linking downtown Pittsburgh to the East End, through the Strip District, Lawrenceville, and Bloomfield. Penn Avenue also intersects Liberty Avenue (Rt. 8) less than a quarter mile from The Meridian, which is the main corridor into East Pittsburgh from northern communities, including Oakmont and Fox Chapel. Shady Avenue starts at the entrance to the Meridian and goes south connecting Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and Greenfield.
