Liberty Center was developed and built by Liberty Center Ventures, a partnership of Forest City Enterprises and Jos. L. Muscarelle, Inc. and opened in December 1986. The $137 million mixed-use complex was the first major development following the Renaissance II burst of construction in downtown Pittsburgh.[1] The entire Liberty Center complex opened in December 1986.[2][3][4][5] The complex was financed from three sources: a $99 million loan from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a $21 million from the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority, and the remainder from Jos. L. Muscarelle, Inc. and Forest City Enterprises.[1]

In August 2013 the tower was sold by Forest City to Starwood Capital Group for $135 million.[6][7][8]

On February 18, 2014 the tower opened the newly relocated downtown Post Office on the lobby floor.[9]

In January 2017, CBRE Global Investors purchased the Federated Tower for an estimated $98 million. The purchase did not include the adjacent Westin Convention Center Hotel, which was part of the 2013 by Starwood Capital Group.[10][11]
