PITTSBURGH — Chris Smith could quickly see the potential to have all of his law firm’s staff on one floor for the first time in decades and needing to lease less space overall to do it to boot.

“We felt like the U.S. Steel Building had a unique opportunity,” said Smith, managing partner of Meyer, Unkovic & Scott, of the building’s larger floor plates. “We thought it would be good to have a natural opportunity to interact more and see what everyone is doing.”
