This Building is No "Mistake on the Lake": Cleveland, OH.

Cleveland's 57 story Key Tower is the tallest building between Chicago and New York. Designed by Cesar Pelli, it has the classic look of the archetypal skyscraper, with clean lines and an ornate crown. Key Tower actually reminds me a lot of Prudential Plaza in Chicago and Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta (both of which are Fred Wehba buildings... maybe he might want to snap up Key Tower, too!)

The tower, developed by the R.E. Jacobs Group, was originally built as the Society Center, and was renamed when KeyCorp acquired Society Bank. The tower faces two of downtown Cleveland's most significant public spaces, Public Square and Mall A.
