Southpointe wasn't found — it was built.
Southpointe is the best example of our vision and capabilities.
Open Cecil Township hillside — Southpointe II before the first road was cut.
Roads, grading, and pads — the infrastructure of a community, built parcel by parcel.
Class A office, hotels, and shops rose floor by floor across Southpointe II.
Shops, restaurants, festivals, championship golf — the most dynamic address in the region. This is what Horizon builds.
Horizon’s story starts with our founder and CEO, Rod Piatt — a certified public accountant and a fixture in regional development. Long before Southpointe became the economic engine of Southwestern PA and the Greater Pittsburgh Region, Rod saw the potential in this landscape, turning an ambitious concept into more than four million square feet of Class A office, town-center retail, and hospitality.
By pioneering the live, work, play philosophy long before it became an industry standard, Rod didn’t just construct buildings — he architected entire economic ecosystems that still draw global enterprises to the region. That vision made Horizon a force in commercial and hospitality development, and his enduring legacy is a culture of partnership and integrity that carries into the next generation.
A full-service, vertically integrated owner-operator — and multiple-time NAIOP Developer of the Year — we've built global headquarters for publicly traded companies and leased everything from mom-and-pop shops to institutional-scale projects. Hotels, restaurants, retail, office, a private golf club: there is simply nobody like us in the market.
Live, Work, Play has been our North Star since day one — and Southpointe proves it. Publicly traded headquarters. The shops and restaurants of Southpointe Town Center. Nate’s Chop House and the AC Hotel by Marriott. Summer festivals and championship golf. It’s where the region does business — and where it wants to be at the end of the day.
