PITTSBURGH — United States Steel Corp. announced this morning that it will build its new world headquarters in Pittsburgh as part of the NHL's Penguins' redevelopment of the former Civic Arena site.

Company, team, city and state officials made the announcement.

The steel giant has been in talks with leaders about whether to remain in Pittsburgh because the current headquarters in the 64-story U.S. Steel Tower — downtown Pittsburgh's highest building — has shrunk in recent years as other tenants have occupied more space in that building.

The Penguins reached an agreement last fall with community officials about the scope of the $440 million redevelopment.
