Castle Shannon
Castle Shannon is a small South Hills borough five miles south of downtown Pittsburgh, sitting on the T light-rail line and squarely in the dense suburban commercial belt that runs through Mt. Lebanon and Dormont. The business mix here leans residential-services — trades, neighborhood retail, professional offices, restaurants — with the steady customer flow you'd expect from a transit-connected established suburb. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms for Castle Shannon operators — purpose-built operating systems with intelligent automation baked in — replacing the patchwork of disconnected SaaS subscriptions most Allegheny County small businesses are paying for today. The questions below come up most often during first calls.
