PITTSBURGH, October 31, 2025 – JLL announced today that Morgan Lewis will relocate its Pittsburgh office to One PPG Place, with the move scheduled for mid-2027. The transaction adds to PPG Place's significant legal sector momentum, which has attracted nearly 150,000 square feet of law firm leasing activity since 2021.
JLL's Dan Adamski represented Morgan Lewis in the transaction, while JLL's Tripp Merchant represented PPG Place and Highwoods Properties.
Morgan Lewis joins a wave of recent legal sector activity at PPG Place, including Stevens & Lee opening a new office and Fox Rothschild relocating to the highly sought after property. Since December 2024 alone, PPG Place has secured more than 94,000 square feet of new law firm leases. Other notable tenants include Littler Mendelson, Nelson Mullins, Weber Gallagher, Steptoe & Johnson, Lewis Brisbois, and Fisher & Phillips, all of which have signed long-term leases at the property. While law firms have been particularly active, PPG Place remains a destination for best-in-class organizations across all industries seeking Pittsburgh's premier office location.
"Morgan Lewis's decision to relocate to One PPG Place exemplifies the flight-to-quality trend we're seeing across Pittsburgh's office market, with leading firms prioritizing premier locations despite broader market headwinds," said Dan Adamski, Senior Vice President, JLL Pittsburgh.
"PPG Place continues to attract the region's top organizations across all industries because it delivers what today's employers need—a best-in-class asset with exceptional amenities in the heart of downtown," said Tripp Merchant, Senior Vice President, Brokerage, JLL Pittsburgh.
According to JLL Pittsburgh's Q3 2025 Office Market Dynamics Report, the region posted a 22.8% vacancy rate with negative absorption driven by continued tenant rightsizing. Despite these broader market headwinds, demand has concentrated on high-quality, amenity-rich Class A spaces—a flight-to-quality trend reflected in PPG Place's ability to attract and retain top-tier legal tenants.
