November 14, 20195 yr I lived during summer months in Pekin I'm 20 minutes from Peoria and winter in Sun City West As. In Peoria Illinois they moved Caterpillar Headquarters to downtown Chicago because the wife's did not like the small city of Peoria. That was the real reason they left Peoria after almost 100 year. That how stupid a reason to leave a city after all that time being there. So you never know what a company will do one way or anther. I do hope they stay in Cleveland but you never know
November 15, 20195 yr It appears that some type of holes have been drilled into the brand new blacktop just finished a few weeks ago on the Jacobs lot. The holes were not there yesterday, but I missed seeing what equipment was being used.

November 15, 20195 yr Author Yes.... FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2019 Sherwin-Williams files permits with Cleveland prior to acquiring downtown land Twelve certificates of disclosure were filed Nov. 15 with the City of Cleveland's Building Department by an unidentified buyer seeking to acquire all 5.6 acres of Weston Group-owned properties in the "Superblock" west of downtown Cleveland's Public Square. Although the buyer wasn't identified, a source earlier this week notified NEOtrans in advance that Sherwin-Williams (SHW) would be filing the certificates as part of its efforts to secure the downtown properties.

November 15, 20195 yr Another dozen or so parcels in the superblock haven't been filed for yet so we may see this continue on Monday and include the Jacobs lot. And still waiting to see if the ex-stark hq will be included.

This is very interesting to me. @KJP, have your sources ever indicated whether SHW intends to buy/use every superblock lot as opposed to just some?

As far as I know, they intend to use the whole thing. The drilling locations, which were all over the lots, seem to bear this out.

KJP have your sources mentioned whether SHW is interested in the Former Stark/Real Life building. I can't imagine Real life having a purpose for this building other than selling to SHW. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe SHW after Valspar acquisition has the largest revenue stream. Also, Glidden paints was founded in Cleveland, though now is a PPG company. I believe PPG’s presence here helps to attract industry talent as well to CLE. They’re expanding here too. That’ll help to continue to make Cleveland a hotbed for R&D talent with that competition.

November 16, 20195 yr I've been in the paint and coatings industry for 26 years......Its always been know as the Paint capital of america. Pretty high up on the plastics list also.
November 16, 20195 yr I am so glad the County came to their senses and decided not to interfere with SW decision to build on the Jacobs/Weston parcels. That would have been the final straw for me.
November 16, 20195 yr Author We're also home to research facilities for just about every medical imaging device firm.

November 16, 20195 yr My Cleveland roots led to my pursuit of degrees in organic and medicinal chemistry. It's in Cleveland's DNA.
November 16, 20195 yr Author And after trading a few late-night text messages, I added the following paragraph to yesterday's article.... ___________ Ironically, commercial firms don't have to file certificates of disclosure before buying a property, a Cleveland official said. Plus, there won't be much information for the buyer to get since there are no buildings on the properties and the parking lots won't remain as parking. Lastly, the buyer could have just sent a zoning letter to the city for free rather than pay $60 per certificate filed and gotten more information from the city.

You would think that with the amount of news being circulated, they would at least say they are staying in NE Ohio. I dont really doubt that they are but you are right about it beiing "off"
November 16, 20195 yr Maybe it's because not all of the stars are perfectly aligned. 1. New Jacob's core samples were just obtained yesterday 2. As they did for Weston, no paperwork was filed with the City for the Jacobs lot 3. Would this project be eligible for TMUD? If so, its fate is still pending and could impact project financing 4. Despite what's happening on PS/Weston, it sounds like Bedrock is still making a strong pitch While there are still some unknowns, things appear to be moving favorably.

Kinda looks like things are still in play and this is a bit of poker being played by SW, Bedrock, and the Westin/Jacobs site.
