Highmark to move former Gateway Health staff out of Gateway Center

No longer sharing a name with the office complex in which it has been based for more than 10 years, the former Gateway Health, recently redubbed Highmark Wholecare, is set to vacate Gateway Center downtown.

As its new name might suggest, Highmark Wholecare will instead be consolidated into the downtown office presence of Highmark, which bought the remaining 50% ownership stake of the company last year.

A spokesman for Highmark confirmed the company’s Wholecare staff have been notified that they will be moving out of Gateway Center into the new corporate parent’s offices in the next few months.

The former Gateway Health staff will move to Highmark’s Penn Avenue Place property at Penn and Stanwix.

“Our move to Penn Avenue Place will be measured and take place over several months ahead, as we decommission the current office space,” the Highmark spokesman added.

It’s a relatively big chunk of space that the former Gateway Health has long occupied at Gateway Center, first announcing a move from the U.S. Steel Tower in 2012, originally taking 100,000 square feet at the time, with an expansion option then to add another 40,000 square feet.

Now, the company will be vacating 180,000 square feet at Gateway Center, for which its lease expires in September 2023.
