Think Innovation. Think Community. Think Success.
Think Pittsburg.
Opportunity where the rivers meet.
Pittsburg is located just a short BART ride from San Francisco, in eastern Contra Costa County, between the Delta waters and the foot of Mount Diablo.
The City is strategically located near a number of prestigious higher education institutions, such as UC Berkeley and UC Davis, and is the home of Los Medanos College, the sixth ranked community college in the nation.
Pittsburg’s logistical amenities are exceptional for major industry. It includes deep water channel access that leads into the greater San Francisco Bay and Pacific Ocean, two BART rail stations that will get you to San Francisco in an hour, access to major interstate highway corridors, and access to two Class 1 Railroads that ship goods across the United States.
Pittsburg is a growing community, and growing fast. The City is one of the top 500 in the United States by population size, and with over 5,800 units of housing approved or under constructions, we are expected to grow by nearly 20,000 over the next two decades.
What Pittsburg Offers:
