Mylan Inc. has planned to build a new corporate headquarters near its current location in the Southpointe Office Park located in Cecil Township. The building is expected to be completed in 2013.

The site is located within the Town Centre Overlay District located along Town Centre Boulevard. The overall development is planned to include an approximate 280,000 square foot, five-story, LEED-certified, Class-A office building with associated infrastructure and parking.

Mylan executive chairman Robert J Coury said, “Mylan's global operations have experienced transformational and phenomenal growth over the last five years, and we expect this growth will only continue in the years to come. In order to support our expanding business, we have more than doubled the number of employees located at our corporate headquarters in this same time frame, and we would expect hiring in the area to continue.”

Coury continued, “I am very pleased to announce that we are committed to remain in the Pittsburgh area, and in the Southpointe Office Park, in particular. Construction and design of the new facility will focus on the growing needs of our global business, our dedicated employees as well as current and future environmental impact. This facility, in combination with all of our extraordinary assets, will continue to build upon our one-of-a-kind global operating platform and support Mylan's commitment to setting new standards in health care and providing the world's seven billion people with access to high quality medicine.”
