Building the Future of Cleveland

Cleveland has been described as America's "comeback city" because of its transformation into a modern metropolis with a diverse and dynamic economic base.

Turner Construction Company is a key component of this change in its role in building some of the area's most prominent projects. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum draws more than a million visitors a year from around the globe and the 63-story Key Tower serves as the headquarters of one of the nation's largest bank holding companies and is the tallest building in Ohio.

In addition, Turner provided construction management services for the 21,000-seat Gund Arena, home to the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association. The Gund, which also hosts concerts and other large-scale activities, is among the most celebrated arenas in professional sports. In addition, the Cleveland Browns hired Turner to upgrade its suburban training facility, which includes an indoor practice field. Turner built the original Browns' training facility in the early 1990's.

Turner has led the restoration of the downtown Playhouse Square Center, the largest theater restoration project in America. Today, the Playhouse Square Center's showcase theaters - Hanna, Palace, State, Allen, and Ohio - comprise the second largest performing arts complex in America, after New York's Lincoln Center, for which Turner also provided construction management services. Moreover, Turner renovated the main building of the nationally recognized Cleveland Public Library, one of America's largest open-stack libraries, and constructed a ten-story library annex named for retired U.S. Representative Louis Stokes.

At the vanguard of Cleveland's growth has been the expansion of its world-class medical institutions, particularly Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals of Cleveland. Turner managed the construction of an eye institute, research institute, cancer center, emergency room, and other key facilities at the Cleveland Clinic. At University Hospitals, Turner's work includes construction of an eight-story, 244-bed addition to the Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital.

Turner is proud of its role in helping to shape the city of Cleveland and its ongoing renewal.
