The Block Northway is a shopping mall currently operating and under further development in Ross Township, north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. LRC Realty, an Akron, Ohio-based real estate developer, is rebuilding the mall into the present-day configuration as a shopping and entertainment mall anchored by Nordstrom Rack, Saks Off 5th, The Container Store, Bassett Furniture, Marshalls, DSW, Ulta and PetSmart. Additional anchors under development include Dave & Busters, which is expected to open in early 2018.

The Block Northway began as a strip mall called Northway Shopping Center, which opened in 1953. In 1962, an enclosed portion was added above the existing strip, thus creating the renamed Northway Mall. The original mall also included an aviary on the upper floor atrium, which was removed in 1994.

In 1995, the mall was renovated by McNeil Real Estate of Dallas, Texas, which owned the center at the time. It was then sold to the Archon Group (also of Dallas), who put the mall up for sale again in 2000. At the time, the mall was at 94% occupancy. When occupancy declined, plans were announced to convert the mall's enclosed upper level to a strip center. Under the plan, the mall was renamed to The Shoppes at Northway. This construction eliminated the discount movie theater. In 2007, new tenants were announced for the Shoppes at Northway, including a shoe store and a family play center. Value City and Old Navy closed in 2008, while the family play center (the Kid Company, which replaced the food court) existed only briefly.

Borders closed its store at Northway in 2011 in response to the company's liquidation. Dick's Sporting Goods closed its Shoppes at Northway location on April 8, 2014 as a result of the store's relocation to McCandless Crossing.
