Gotta nerd out for a second - and agree, this is so much fun! 

 

Now, can we get @KJPto drop a bomb on us that Bedrock will be building a 600 footer at the Nucleus site  just as SW is  finishing?

I'll be happy if we could get a couple of 300-footers.

I’ll take that too! 

A quick peek at some of the pavilion foundation work through the fence, and also looking across toward all the garage foundation/lower level work.

And here are a few tower views from the Warehouse District - really starting to make an impact on the skyline!

Weather is finally cooperating.

 

Apparently the mounted police have a regularly scheduled visit on Public Square.

 

 

 

 

Guess I'll join in and add my pics from yesterday.

Today.

View from Wendy Park

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks again @Ethanand all you cool kids who have given us so many great views almost daily.  
 

Just thinking that this particular photo really shows how massive those floor plates are - and just imagine how high this thing would’ve gone with a smaller floor plate - probably would’ve been the 2nd tallest in the city easily. Just sayin’ 

 

Meanwhile, the view just gets better daily - and that new skyline is coming into view. 
 

 

Oh check out this great drone footage. Is Matt Lance an UrbanOhioan? Come get your props!

 

Matt is a friend of mine (on IG 😅) he has given me a lot of advice pertaining to my new drone. Love his work.

Well, uh, bring him to UrbanOhio FRIEND!

That opening split-second frame might be the greatest view of downtown there is. Almost hard to believe it’s Cleveland.

This ➡️ gap will be filled in perfectly when SWHQ is topped out. 

Taken from over the CSX Intermodal Terminal in Colinwood on East 152nd Street.

 

From Edgewater Park today.

 

I'm surprised nothing has happened with the core in a few weeks. Seems like it would have been added to since the floors have caught up to it. 

Construction is advancing at the Sherwin-Williams Building Our Future new HQ and R&D facilities. We’re excited to share the progress as we capture all the milestones along the way. 

 

HQ Progress

 

Does anyone else love how the tower is towering over post office plaza…when driving on the highway it’s a site to see!

Uhh did we all miss this somehow?  I scrolled through and didn't see any posts about it.  Apparently there was a small fire and some minor explosions 12 days ago...

Clearly we don't have enough people documenting the construction site.

OK, done!  Hell, it's tripled!

Friday update.

12 floors of steel. The core is about to get smaller.

I wonder what they're doing with the core and why they're removing the formwork with 20 floors to go.  Maybe it narrows on the upper floors.. (edit- tried deleting after seeing the small print on the above bic)

Ha, it does suck that we can't delete our own posts anymore. But yeah, the core has been stagnating on the 15th floor for a while now. I'm wondering if there was an issue. I'm surprised the core would narrow at only the 15th floor out of 36.

Assuming they will have at least 3 elevator bays, this doesn't seem that unusual. After all, 1/3 of the way up would be 12 floors. Dropping one elevator out before the 15/16th floor makes plenty of sense to me. 

 

Edit: looks like four bays?

will the new sherwin williams hq start a downtown cleveland renaissance?

It is possible that the new Sherwin-Williams headquarters could start a downtown Cleveland renaissance. The new headquarters is a major investment in the city, and it is likely to bring new jobs and businesses to the area. It could also help to revitalize the downtown area and make it more attractive to residents and visitors.

 

However, it is important to note that the new headquarters is just one piece of the puzzle. In order for downtown Cleveland to truly experience a renaissance, it will need to see continued investment in infrastructure, housing, and other amenities. It will also need to attract new businesses and residents.

 

If all of these things happen, then it is possible that downtown Cleveland could experience a renaissance. The new Sherwin-Williams headquarters could be a catalyst for this change.

If you look closely at SW's schematic models, you can see the shape of the tapering elevator core.

From last night. It's not quite tall enough to get lost in Cleveland's fog, but if the crane is any indication, it's getting close. 

 

So thanks to @chrino21, @Ethanand @MayDay’s posts from the last 24 hours, we’re very clear on where we’re at in SW’s ascent  - now just beginning that “middle third” of the core.  Already impressive but almost two thirds to go!!

Well, looks like construction on the shack and sky bridge must be getting close. 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems like it's still stuck on the 16th or so floor.

The construction of both the private paint museum / shack and parking garage have commenced

They’ve been refitting the elevator shaft form. It’s a little smaller now. Should rise 25% quicker now!

Okay, since folks seem to think things are a little slow now, and we're all waiting for windows and panels to start appearing, I'll throw this in: 

For anyone wondering (like I did), I finally put them together.  It's not the exact angle, but it's kinda close.

The west side might be though as it’s sloped less 😂

Forget Ohio... at this rate, we can make this the most documented construction project in Midwestern history

I know I just posted, but I love how these came out (4-27-23)

a.) SHW will be a nice addition to the skyline from this vantage point.

b.) We really need to get this section of the riverfront developed.
