PITTSBURGH, Pa. – F.N.B. Corp., the holding company for First National Bank, welcomed civic and community leaders to its new $300 million headquarters, FNB Financial Center, to celebrate the building’s grand opening Tuesday.

Vincent J. Delie Jr., FNB chairman, president and chief executive officer, provided remarks before a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the event in the lobby of the new building in Pittsburgh’s Lower Hill District neighborhood. 

The occasion formally commemorated the success of a transformational venture that was a decade in the making, announced at the end of 2019 and completed despite the significant challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“It is extremely rewarding to have played a role in bringing hundreds of high-quality jobs to Pittsburgh, and also to have realized the vision for this building for our employees and the community,” Delie said. “Growing up on Pittsburgh’s North Side with views of the city, I was inspired by our skyline and its beauty, and now FNB is part of it – and we are here because of our determination and what we have achieved as a company.”

Gov. Josh Shapiro reinforced FNB Financial Center’s economic impact in a video message that was played at the event. “We want Pennsylvania to be the best state in the nation to start and grow your business. … The grand opening of FNB Financial Center is a signal of our competitiveness,” Shapiro said. “It will bring more people and more opportunity to the Lower Hill District. And combined with our unprecedented investment in the Golden Triangle, it’s the start of a new day for Pittsburgh. So thank you, Vince, for investing in this city and its great people.”

FNB Financial Center is one of the few multitenant towers constructed in the central business district during the past four decades. FNB owns and occupies the majority of the building, bringing employees together in a new, state-of-the-art space that is designed to encourage communication and collaboration between lines of business. Select features of the 26-story tower include:

  • A sophisticated trading floor for capital markets employees, including a suspended LED stock ticker that is visible from the building exterior.
  • An amenity floor featuring a cutting-edge fitness center with showers and lockers, conference rooms, lounge space and a WiFi-enabled, tenant-only terrace.
  • LEED Gold certification, with numerous health and wellness-oriented features, including floor-to-ceiling windows for ample natural light and advanced HVAC systems.

FNB Financial Center also includes an FNB Digital Branch in the lower lobby. Contained within the eStore Cafe, which provides fresh and health-conscious grab-and-go, dine-in and corporate catering food options, the digital branch incorporates self-service eStore kiosks and consultative personnel to provide customers with a flexible banking experience.

The new building also creates space for FNB to test its latest technology advances, including a new eStore prototype that was installed at ground level. The device adds ATM, video chat and account opening capabilities to eStore, enhancing efficiency for customers and presenting a cost-effective way to increase FNB touchpoints in new and existing markets.

During the grand opening celebration, FNB also announced a $1 million contribution to the UPMC Children’s Hospital Foundation’s This Moment fundraising campaign. The gift will go toward the FNB Hub for Family Support, a new initiative to help UPMC Children’s patient families access care and navigate behavioral health, medical and community resources.
