  • Oh, here we go.  Weird...   I did a quick Photoshop from Mov2Ohio's "Top of the 9" shot.  Tough combining a drawing with a photo, but for what it's worth...

  • Not to braaaaaag but I believe I have the furthest shot Sherwin-Williams construction photo ever taken (not from a plane). This is from Point Pelee in the southernmost point in Canada in Leamington, O

I saw the helicopter as well approaching Hopkins.... maybe setting up ahead of Biden's Thursday visit?

The land where the skyscraper is going has been dug out a few feet and the hole on the left was filled with gravel.

This baby is going to be amazing. It will create a complete different feel for the area and make it feel and look like a bigger city 

Is a construction cam still in the works?

Not sure. Been out of country and will have to check when I get back.

How long before we see some vertical movement?

 

We’ve got ourselves some World Class Signage at last!🤣 At the corner of Superior and W 3rd.

 

Would love to see renderings and have banners wrap around more of the construction site, but at least it’s better than nothing at all…

^ I think that actually fits the legal UO definition of "World Class Signage".

You love to see it! 👏🏻 

 

The hole on the left has been completely filled.

Wonder if these bones are from 2 days ago or 200 years ago?

If it's a native site could shut down the process for a while!  

C'mon guys, this is March 1st not April 1st!   Please tell me this won't turn into a long term construction stoppage.

Or Boss.   Hopefully no one loses their ears.

The coroner office identified the bones as pig bones 🦴. Ok back to construction. No important news here

I've actually never seen or heard of this.   TV show?  

 

I've only read countless stories of construction sites finding ancient bones and the archeology teams descending on them for months.

It's been on the History Channel since I think 2014 or 15. It finds just enough stuff to keep me watching, but frustrates by not finding the Big Treasure. Next episode is tonight. To keep this on topic, I'll just post the link here....

BTW, I'll post an article with photos soon on the secret place they're building a mock-up of the SHW HQ right now. 😎

Pig bones! 

Remnants from an old rib cook-off perhaps.

Or.....

 

Pig bones were reportedly left over from a pig roast that was held during a Browns tailgating party.

SHW saw it posted here and took it down out of spite from @KJP's reporting throughout the process. 

 

Now there's a Q Anon theory for ya.

Sherwin-Williams HQ mocked-up in Flats

By Ken Prendergast / March 3, 2022

 

If you don’t know what you’re looking for, you could drive right past the new $300+ million Sherwin-Williams (SHW) headquarters tower and not even know it. I mean, who would expect Cleveland’s fourth-tallest skyscraper to suddenly appear out of nowhere at the dank and dusty corner of Scranton and Carter roads on Scranton Peninsula in the Flats?

Nice looking glass @KJP, Ken. Or is the mock up here not really indicative of the actual glass to be installed?

I would hope they have their glass supply and supplier ID'd by now. But if we see different glass types being installed at the test site, then perhaps they don't.

Their final presentation had a brand listed for the glass panels. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they are still experimenting with things like opacity or reflectivity, hence the southern exposure.

enclos is no joke -- they clad the nyc jenga tower, the old wtc twins, the stratosphere in vegas and comcast in philly, among many others.

 

that is a good omen.

 

the pix even from a distance show quality glass and paneling.

 

i would say from the looks of the mock ups its really going to enhance the looks of the tower a great deal!

I noticed there is a building in NYC which looks similar, although tapered towards the top.  I was hoping SHW would have done that.

Man, i know it's an created Google maps 3D image, but that's one frugly looking building. Maybe in real life it appears nicer.

Well, it's New York City, so it is just one of hundreds of tall buildings.

Bank of America's headquarters (that's what that building is) is quite a nice tower. It definitely doesn't look like the Sherwin Williams Tower in real life. It's much more of an organic shape. Still geometric, but significantly less rigid and tapers and ends in a spire to embrace its height of 1,200 feet. 

Random post, but I don’t get the sense anyone at SW has thought about birdsafe glass - anyone familiar?

NEO is incredibly important for bird migrations, as many of you may know. Word has it that there is still time to sway company execs on this, although I’m still trying to track down how one might actually contact them (instead of public officials). Either way, please consider writing a letter.

You be the judge.  There are some similarities, but I don't think they are as closely related as some other buildings might.  It's one of the tallest in the NYC skyline and has a distinctive shape though, so SHW will be like it in that regard

^ yeah the ny boa tower does resemble the sw hq tower somewhat.

 

there are others that look more like it i would think.

 

boa is also a similarly kind of bland, but very nice office building.

 

from a pedestrian point of view, the street level with the subway entrance on the corner is outstanding, but otherwise no public access i don't think.

 

from a personal angle, our friend's family sold a large property on the site for that building and made a mint!

Is this a giant drill bit to start the caissons?

Based on the number of frac tanks staged on site, it looks like they are about to get into the ground and that they are expecting to encounter a lot of groundwater.  

William Chilton did an hour-long interview with American Institute of Architects - Cleveland earlier this week. Did anyone here attend?

Ok, now these are some caisson sized drill bits! 🤩

Drill baby drill!!

 

Wait a minute. Is an environment loving Democrat allowed to say that?
