Mayor O’Connor Welcomes AE Works to Newly Relocated Office Downtown

“We are excited to be welcoming AE Works back Downtown,” said Mayor O’Connor. “This is a great investment in the vibrancy and future of our city by bringing more people, more jobs and expanding our tax base. Thank you to AE Works – and other companies who are relocating to the city – for choosing Pittsburgh and being an important part of the energy and connectivity of Downtown.” 

As AE Works approaches its 20th anniversary in 2027, the move marks the next chapter for a firm that has grown from a Pittsburgh startup into a nationally recognized architecture and engineering firm. The new location provides a central home for its growing team while strengthening connections to clients, partners, and the broader Pittsburgh business community. 

“Pittsburgh is where AE Works started, and we believe strongly in where the city is headed,” said Michael Cherock, PE, Founder and CEO of AE Works. “There is real momentum Downtown, and we want to be part of it. We are excited about the leadership Mayor Corey O’Connor and others are bringing to Pittsburgh and proud to make this investment in the city’s future.” 

The move also builds on AE Works’ dedication to championing the collective growth that occurs when businesses invest in their own community. Through these efforts, AE Works has been part of a broader conversation about what makes people choose Pittsburgh and, importantly, what makes them choose to stay. The Downtown office puts that commitment into action. 

“Our new office is about more than where we work. It is about creating the kind of environment that brings our people together and connects us more closely to the city around us,” said Dave Andros, President and COO of AE Works. “We want our team to be excited about coming Downtown, engaging with the community, and being part of Pittsburgh’s continued growth. This is an investment in our people and in the future of AE Works.”
