Key Happenings in 2019:
Sherwin-Williams to Build New Global HQ in Downtown Cleveland, R&D Center in Brecksville
Sherwin-Williams announced it is finalizing plans to build a new global headquarters in downtown Cleveland and a new R&D center in the Cleveland suburb of Brecksville.
“Our plans to continue investing in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio build on our 154-year legacy as one of the region’s top employers and drivers of economic activity,” Sherwin-Williams Chairman and CEO John G. Morikis said. “Driven by our continued need to serve our customers at the highest level and retain and attract top talent, we intend to create a next-generation workplace environment that ignites creativity, collaboration and industry-leading innovation. We currently operate out of a 90-year-old headquarters building that has served us well but is no longer conducive to meeting our future needs. The major planned investment in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio we are announcing reflects our confidence in the continued strength of the region and its people and our public partners’ ability to deliver on their commitments.”
Preliminary plans call for a $600 million investment to build both facilities.
The planned new global headquarters would be an approximately 1,000,000-square-foot facility in downtown Cleveland.The approximately 500,000-square-foot R&D center would serve as the corporate anchor for a new mixed-use development project.
Combined, the two facilities would house more than 3,500 employees with room to accommodate significant future growth.
Sherwin-Williams estimates a minimum of 400 jobs would be added at these facilities over time, an increase of 11 percent to the company’s current local workforce.
Sherwin-Williams is working with several state and local partners on this project: The State of Ohio, JobsOhio, Cuyahoga County, Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority, and the cities of Cleveland and Brecksville. Approvals of the company’s economic development packages and other matters remain pending and are expected over the next several months.
The R&D center and global headquarters project continues to be a multi-year process.
The transition to the new facilities is not expected to occur until 2023 at the earliest.
