CLEVELAND (WJW) — Mother Nature painted a cloudy and gray day, but world-renowned Cleveland-based Sherwin Williams, known for its vast variety of colorful paints and so much more, lit up downtown with bright smiles.
Construction workers put the last beam in place Monday on the roof of the brand new 616-foot, 36-story global headquarters during a “Topping Off” ceremony.
Topping-off ceremonies include planting an evergreen and an American Flag on the rooftop of a new building at the moment workers erect the last steel beam. Traditionally, many say the topping-off event symbolizes safety and good luck for the future.

Along with the tree and the American flag, a Sherwin Williams logo flag was also spotted flying high atop the new office building set to open sometime in 2024. The company, which has brought thousands of jobs to Northeast Ohio for generations, has plans to construct two more buildings in Downtown Cleveland.
