UPDATE: Sherwin-Williams isn’t commenting on this story and, after it was published, an internal e-mail was sent to company managers and department heads advising them to not comment if any media asks about the company moving its headquarters/research and development activities to new facilities.
It appears the stakes couldn’t be higher for the City of Cleveland as global coatings giant Sherwin-Williams Co. (SHW) prepares to issue a request for proposals from development teams seeking to build a massive new headquarters and research facility.

Gordon Park lakefront housing – the sequel

Ken Prendergast / May 15, 2019

The Gordon Park area on the East Side isn’t to be confused with the Gordon Square area on the West Side. Gordon Square is a populous, fast-growing, historic neighborhood. But the lakefront lands along and near Gordon Park could soon add “fast-growing” to its descriptions too, as first reported in a February NEOtrans article.

Cleveland is rising up in the O-Zone

Ken Prendergast / April 30, 2019

Last week I sat in a small conference room with nearly a dozen real estate developers and investors planning a cool new project in Cleveland’s urban core. I was there to add my two cents on a transportation access component of that project. Seated in the corner of the room was another guy, representing a lending institution that provides equity from one of the many fast-growing Opportunity Zone Funds.

3 Comments / Ken Prendergast / April 25, 2019

Much of the rebuilding in Cleveland’s Midtown, between downtown and University Circle, has focused along the parallel east-west roadways of Euclid, Carnegie and Chester avenues.

No matter where you stand in Hingetown these days, you’re either standing next to a 21st-century real estate development, across the street from one or you can see one less than a block away. Increasingly, in Hingetown, you’re surrounded by projects.
