Dr. Connor Robertson is the Founder and Publisher of The Pittsburgh Wire, Pittsburgh's dedicated publication for business, real estate, and economic development news. He founded the Wire with a simple premise: Pittsburgh's growth story deserves its own newsroom, one focused entirely on what is being built, who is building it, and why it matters.
Outside the newsroom, Robertson is the founder of Elixir Consulting Group, a tax strategy firm specializing in cost segregation studies and accelerated depreciation for real estate investors. His dual perspective as both a journalist covering Pittsburgh's development landscape and a practitioner advising property owners gives the Wire a depth of insight that few local publications can match.
Robertson's coverage spans the full arc of Pittsburgh's economic transformation: from the robotics and AI companies spinning out of Carnegie Mellon, to the neighborhood-level revitalization reshaping corridors like Butler Street, the Strip District, and Hazelwood Green. He is particularly focused on the intersection of real estate investment, small business growth, and the infrastructure decisions that shape a city's trajectory for decades.
A Pittsburgh native, Robertson holds a deep conviction that the city's most significant chapters are still ahead. The Wire exists to document them in real time. Learn more at drconnorrobertson.com.
