Sherwin Williams begins new global HQ build

31st January 2022

The Sherwin-Williams Company has held a virtual celebration to mark the official start of construction for the company’s new global headquarters.

The one million square-foot facility will be located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio and will include a two-story pavilion acting as the front porch to Public Square, a 36-floor office tower and an attached multi-level parking garage.

John G Morikis, Sherwin-Williams Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “As construction workers, equipment and materials have been arriving at our building site in the heart of the city, we could not be more excited about the investment we are making in the future of our Company and the future of Cleveland. We are creating a next-generation workplace to serve our customers, retain and attract employees, as well as offer opportunities to celebrate the Sherwin-Williams brand and act as a catalyst for future development in and around our new campus.”

The new headquarters is part of the Company’s comprehensive Building Our Future project, which also includes construction of a new 600,000sqft Research & Development (R&D) Center in Brecksville, Ohio which officially broke ground in October 2021.

Sherwin-Williams plans to invest a minimum of $600m to build both the headquarters and R&D facility.
