This project included interior and exterior renovations to the iconic Key Tower and adjacent Downtown Marriott Hotel. This multi-phased project which included work to the 24-hour hotel included multiple end users, various architects, and a handful of owner entities including the City of Cleveland.

This $24 Million patron facing facility overhaul allowed for a new and improved Downtown Key Center while also serving as a catalyst for future growth and additional projects downtown.
