Starting in the late 20th century, the city undertook a Main Street program in cooperation with the [[National Trust for Historic Preservation]], encouraging design and landscape improvements on East Carson Street, and supporting new retail. The area has become a local Pittsburgher destination, and the value of homes in the South Side had increased in value by about 10% annually for the 10 years leading up to 2014.<ref>{{cite news |last=O'Neill |first=Brian |title=Rising home prices tell Pittsburgh's uplifting story |work=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |date=January 8, 2014 |url=http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/brian-oneill/2014/01/09/Rising-home-prices-tell-Pittsburgh-s-uplifting-story/stories/201401090182}}</ref> East Carson Street has developed as one of the most vibrant areas of the city, packed with diverse shopping, ethnic eateries, vibrant nightlife, and live music venues. In 1993, the [[Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh]] purchased the South Side Works steel mill property. It collaborated with the community and various developers to create a master plan for a mixed-use development that included a riverfront park, office space, housing, health-care facilities, and indoor practice fields for the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] and [[Pitt Panthers]]. Construction of the development began in 1998. The [[SouthSide Works]] has been open since 2005, featuring many stores, restaurants, offices, and the world headquarters for [[American Eagle Outfitters]].<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://investors.ae.com/news-releases/news-releases-details/2005/American-Eagle-Outfitters-Announces-Pittsburghs-SouthSide-Works-Location-As-New-Corporate-Headquarters/default.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717005140/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2005_Oct_21/ai_n15726879 |url-status=live |archive-date=July 17, 2012 |title=American Eagle Outfitters Announces Pittsburgh's SouthSide Works Location As New Corporate Headquarters |date=October 21, 2005 |access-date=October 21, 2007 |publisher=American Eagle Outfitters}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
