Bombardier Transportation will occupy about 90,000 square feet of space in the former Seagate building in the Strip District.

The company has signed a long-term lease to relocate several of its business divisions from its offices in West Mifflin to the 200,000-square-foot One Waterfront Place, according to an announcement Tuesday by Cushman & Wakefield Grant Street Associates.

Among the Bombardier divisions moving to the Strip is its rail control solutions group.

"It's great to see a global leader in rail technology move into the original tech building of the Strip District. Keeping Bombardier in Pittsburgh is a coup for the region's growing technology sector," said Randy McCombs, one of the Grant Street Associates brokers who represented Bombardier.

In a statement, Mayor Bill Peduto said the move is a "great addition to the city's booming transportation and technology sectors, and is a perfect fit with the fabric of the Strip District."

The announcement did not state how many employees would be relocating.

Bombardier also has retained Cushman & Wakefield Grant Street Associates to dispose of its existing 176,485-square-foot building on Lebanon Church Road in West Mifflin.
