Far as I know, it's still part of Forest City's Station Square -- I believe they called it something like the Landmark Building.
"Today, the seven-level historic building is home to Pittsburgh iconic restaurants The Grand Concourse and The Gandy Dancer and also offers 80,245 square-feet of office space."
The hotel at Station Square (Sheraton) is new-build (well, much newer than the station buildings). The Omni (William Penn) is in the Triangle, across the river from the station.

I thought Station Square was built on and around the old P&LE station at Pittsburgh on the South side of the Monongahela River. Penn Station is in the part of Pittsburgh that is bounded by the rivers that form the Ohio River at the Golden Triangle and Point State Park.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!

You are correct.

SO glad that got straightened out. When I read above that it was a seven-story building, I got concerned since I once worked on the 9th Floor. I immediately asked myself what happened to the 8th and 9th floors.
And by the way, it was the "Pittsburg Union Station" having been built during the short time when Pittsburgh was officially spelled without an 'h'. I know, others are still spelled that way but to a native Pittsburgher, they are simply wrong and "that's all there is to that".
