The Oswald Tower is a skyscraper in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, formerly known as the Ernst & Young Tower. [1] It stands on the east bank of the Flats completed in 2013. [2] It is an example of post-modern glass curtain and steel studded construction. The building rises 23 stories to a height of 330 feet (100 m) and offers 480,000 square feet (45,000 m2) of office space. [3]

Contents

The major tenant was previously the accounting firm Ernst & Young, which moved from the Huntington Bank Building to the new and then-namesake tower in 2013. [4] Ernst & Young traces its roots back to the firm of Ernst & Ernst, which was established in 1903 in Cleveland. E & Y moved to the North Point Tower in 2023.

Tenants

The building is also the Cleveland office of these law firms: Cleveland-based Tucker Ellis, and Columbus, Ohio-based Porter Wright Morris Arthur. [5]

In addition to these major tenants the tower was home to the former Cleveland-based metal chemical company OM Group which changed its name to Vectra in 2017 then moved its Headquarters to St. Louis, and is the Cleveland office of San Francisco-based financial corporation Wells Fargo. [6] The tower has an attached Aloft Hotels-branded hotel with 150 guest rooms and the WXYZ bar. [7]
