American Eagle Set to Finalize Purchase of New Corporate Office

Pittsburgh, Pa., American Eagle Outfitters Inc.'s purchase of an office building at SouthSide Works in Pittsburgh, Pa., for its new corporate headquarters is set to be finalized Wednesday, according to a report by Pittsburgh Business Times. The deal would include the 186,000-sq.-ft. Quantum II office building as well as a neighboring parcel along the Monongahela River. American Eagle previously said it expects to employ 800 people at the SouthSide Works facilities. The move probably won't happen until late 2007 at the earliest.
