What the Electrical Work Supported
Electrical contractor Ferry Electric Company helped power many of the systems that make Bakery Square operate as a modern technology and community hub.
Their work supported electrical infrastructure for office buildings, restaurants, residential spaces, parking garages, and outdoor public areas. Crews installed power distribution, lighting, and technology systems that allow businesses to operate, residents to live on-site, and the public to gather in shared spaces.
The project also included lighting and electrical systems for the outdoor courtyard and conservatory-style glass addition, which host concerts, sporting events, and community activities.

Bakery Square played a major role in the revitalization of Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood. The development created a place where people can live, work, dine, and gather in one walkable district.
Projects like this demonstrate how electrical construction supports the infrastructure behind modern workplaces, housing, entertainment, and community spaces.
Cool Fact
The illuminated outdoor courtyard at Bakery Square regularly hosts concerts, sports watch parties, and public events — all powered by advanced lighting and electrical systems installed by skilled electricians.
