Bosch LLC announced that Bosch will locate its 51,667 s/f technology center at 2555 Smallman St. in the 3 Cross- ings neighborhood in Pitts- burgh’s Strip District. 3 Crossings reconnects the Strip District to the natu- ral amenities of a revitalized riverfront and Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers HeritageTrail network.
