The Key Tower is a skyscraper on Public Square in downtown
Cleveland, Ohio designed by architect César Pelli. It is the
tallest building in both the city of Cleveland and the state of
Ohio, the 18th tallest building in the United States, and the 70th
tallest building in the world. The building reaches 57 stories or
948 feet (289 m) to the top of its spire, and it can be
visible for up to twenty miles (32 km) away. The tower contains
about 1.5 million square feet (139,355 m²) of office
space.
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.
