Come visit the Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing for a panel discussion centering on the ongoing transformation of this industrial brownfield site into a trail-connected riverside destination. Framed by the heritage steel and the historic headquarters of the Pencoyd Ironworks, the new public places are at once a refuge from the city, and a neighborhood/urban setting. With a new hotel and two new top-chef restaurants, the Ironworks offers a unique blend of encounter between locals and travelers – from informal, intimate occasions to big events. Realized through a decades-long iterative design process and constructed through a self-performed design-build construction strategy, Penn was able to navigate the pandemic challenges. The Ironworks is still discovering and realizing what it can become.
