Tom, I think you're on to something...

Is it officially banana time?

mrnyc · #**127** Posted **Dec 8, 2021, 7:30 PM**

i think that metal sticking up might be for the big crane or something?

imo i would wait a bit until positive.

like a big pit with obvious pilings and structural cassions.

however, it also looks like they drove one of those big tube joints in the ground? so i dk, maybe?

Ha - I just came here from the Detroit thread after reading about this. I had no idea Cleveland was starting a 600 footer. Amazeballs. When Cleveland is getting in on the action you know something is up. Tallest in 30 years? Not sure if this is the start of anything bigger but selfishly urbanization and economic growth of Detroit/Cleveland would bode well for Chicago.

^ what is amazeballs for us clevelanders and former clevelanders, but in the opposite direction, was how those shameful eyesore parking lots sat empty for freakin decades after the warehouse district buildings around there were knocked out for the groovy po-mo ameritrust bank supertall hq that didn't happen. among other stupid reasons. i mean it was on a par with downtown ft worth for bizzareness. so everyone is just over the moon to see those dam lots go away.

and yeah might as well move this to u/c. there isnt going to be much of a pit i dont think. and no basement as far as we know. they are hard at it now!

mrnyc · #**133** Posted **Jan 21, 2022, 3:35 PM**

welp -- here is caisson rebar going in yesterday -- so afaik that is 100% official proof of this being u/c and not just site prep work.

apparantly there is no basement.

In Chicago it's not uncommon for the caissons to be drilled first on a flat at-grade site with the excavation for any basement levels occurring after the caissons are in place.

I'm not necessary saying that's the case here, but it might be too early to declare "no basement", unless someone has taken a look at the construction drawings.

yes and people are curious and asking about the foundation -- but we already know there was no reference to a basement as presented to the city commission or in other presentations.

otoh sw is rather secretive. that's why i say apparantly. we'll see.

edit: virtual kickoff celebration is jan 28:

Sherwin-Williams to hold virtual celebration to kickoff construction of downtown Cleveland headquarters
The event is set for Friday, January 28 at 1 p.m.

CLEVELAND — After months of anticipation, work is set to begin on Sherwin-Williams' Global Headquarters complex in downtown Cleveland. To signal the start of construction, the company is holding a virtual celebration event this Friday, January 28 at 1 p.m.

The event is being held virtually due to the high rate of COVID-19 cases and "in accordance with Sherwin-Williams' COVID-19 protocols."

The new global headquarters will be approximately 1 million square feet in size and located just west of Public Square between Saint Clair Avenue and Superior Avenue. It will consist of three parts: Office tower, pavilion, and parking garage. More than 3,100 employees will be housed in the new headquarters.

The 36-story Headquarters Tower is slated to become one of the tallest buildings in downtown Cleveland. The parking garage will feature approximately 920 spaces with five levels above grade and one basement level, while the pavilion will be the point of visitor entry and feature Sherwin-Williams' Center of Excellence and a place for learning and development.
