Key Tower

Key Tower (formerly known as Society Center) is a 57 story skyscraper on Public Square in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Designed by architect César Pelli and completed in 1991, the 947-foot (289 m) building is the tallest in the state of Ohio, the 42nd-tallest in the United States, and the 165th-tallest in the world. Visible from up to 20 miles (32 km) away, the tower contains about 1.5 million square feet (139,355 m²) of office space. Key Tower's anchor tenant is KeyCorp, a major regional financial services firm. In 2014 the law firm of BakerHostetler announced that it would move its headquarters to the building, taking up several floors being vacated by KeyCorp. The international law firm Squire Patton Boggs is headquartered here and a major tenant. It is also headquarters to Dan T. Moore Companies, located on the 27th floor. Key Tower is connected to the Marriott at Key Center, built in conjunction with the tower, and the older Society for Savings Building. It was the tallest building between New York City and Chicago until 2007, and is the tallest building in the Midwest United States outside of Chicago. In October 2008, Wells Real Estate Funds purchased Key Center, including Key Tower, Marriott at Key Center, Society for Savings Building, and the underground Memorial Plaza Garage. Key Tower was subsequently acquired by The Millennia Companies in 2017 for $267.5 million.
