i can remember when there were many, many more warehouse buildings there.

so glad to see the epic decades long parking lot era finally coming to a close ...

Sherwin-Williams and City Club Cranes

Caught the City Club crane install today while downtown.
Two cranes (look all the way down Euclid ... that's Sherwin-Williams HQ crane) in one shot.

Love it!! :-)

Oh Cleveland my beloved old hometown . .
I wept for joy when plans for Caesar Pelli’s Society Center (key tower)
were revealed . . I shouted in ecstasy when it topped out . .
I wept for joy when KPF’s plans for Ameritrust Tower were revealed . .
It was as Great a building as I’d ever seen . . The bank merger happed,
but I thought some other developer might build the building anyway . .
Then I waited and waited . . Hoped and waited . . So disappointed . .
When plans for Sherman Williams were revealed, I was happy . .
But this shorter, all glass structure, was no substitute architecturally or iconically,
for what the heroic KPF building would’ve done for the Cleveland skyline
and the vibe of Public Square . .
Maybe the Sherman Williams building is the final nail in the coffin
for that spectacular skyscraper design dream . . But isn’t there still land
between Public Square & where the Sherman Williams dig is happening ? . .
Isn’t that where KPF’s curved glass & Limestone tower, crowned by a
sophisticated industrial stainless Steel sculpture, was to stand ? . .
As Cleveland’s Tallest . . .

^Check page 7 of this thread and the renderings to answer your questions. As much as I liked the Ameritrust concept, I wonder about a few things:

1. At a proposed height of 1,198’ would it have disrupted the generally pyramidal skyline? Yes, it’s not perfect but from just about every angle, there’s a definite flow/hierarchy.

2. What if the tower had been built but then the bank merger still occurred? Keep in mind - when Ameritrust merged with Society Bank, Ameritrust’s headquarters at East Ninth and Euclid (the Marcel Breuer designed tower) ended up being mothballed for **25 years**. Fast forward to 2022 and the hybrid/remote work model, what would be done with that much surplus office space?

3. Along those lines, the Ameritrust Center was slated to have a 484 room Hyatt hotel. Instead, the Hyatt ended up in the Arcade which undoubtedly helped with its restoration. According to the team behind the restoration, the Arcade was in rough shape - roofing tar was used to patch cracks in the iconic glass skylight. Without a hotel brand like Hyatt, the restoration may have never happened. Remember, in 1978 the Arcade was put up for auction - of all the bids placed, only one involved plans to keep the building (yes, the Arcade came close to demolition ) Fortunately that bid won.

4. Yes, Ameritrust was to have a decorative top, maybe slightly in the structural expressionist vein but sophisticated…?

the real loss was the unbuilt progressive tower that was a bonkers early gehry and would have been filled with badazz dia art like donald judd. i would take that one over ameritrust any day.

not only would progressive insurance company still be there today, instead of in the suburbs, but architecture enthusiasts such as ourselves would still be drooling over it because it would have put and kept cle on the map for that kind of iconic tower thing big time.

why wasn’t it built? a much sadder reason than a bank merger. basically mayor mike white got into it with progressive’s peter lewis about site placement or something equally stupid, so lewis said forget it. then he gave the money he saved to dia art foundation. so it turned out to be suburban and nyc wins and a huge cleveland city loss.

Debate over lack of seating/bunker mentality/corporate bullying at SHW:

“We’ve been hearing a lot about Sherwin-Williams comfortability on certain things and that’s not really our concern. Our main focus should be the comfortability of the public and not the multi-billion-dollar company,” said local design review committee member Alan O’Connell.

There's legitimate discussion that the company could be doing more to provide amenities to the public, especially since they've received $100M in subsidies, assistance, etc. Whatever the case, the building is still going up:
