Mission-Driven Black Entrepreneurial Community on Atlanta’s Southside Founded in Purpose (Nia)

Pittsburgh Yards®, a mission-driven entrepreneurial development on the southside of Atlanta, is a community of more than 140 Black-owned and run businesses and organizations that is community-inspired. Its mission is simple – to serve as a catalyst to spur economic equity, job growth, and entrepreneurship to benefit area residents and entrepreneurs throughout Atlanta for future generations. Situated in the historic Black neighborhood of Pittsburgh with a rich history (352 University Avenue), Phase I of Pittsburgh Yards® was completed in 2020 and included James Bridges Field, the infrastructure for the pad sites for future development, and The Nia Building™, which serves as the development’s nerve center and hub. Named after one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa – Nia means purpose in the African language of Swahili.
