North Point Tower

The North Point Office Building and Tower (also known as North Point I and II) is a complex consisting of a skyscraper and an office building. It is located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio at the northeast corner of East 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue.

North Point Tower was proposed by Cleveland Press owner Joseph Cole in 1979. In March 1980, The North Point Plan was revealed as a 500-foot (150 m), 41-story office tower with a glass enclosed atrium. There was supposed to a hotel on the site, and the atrium was supposed to display the Press's printing machines to the public. The tower would have been built on top of the 1957 structure. When the Cleveland Press folded on June 17, 1982, the North Point Plan did too.

Construction of a more modest North Point I began in 1983, and the Cleveland Press building was demolished. It was completed in 1985. North Point II (North Point Tower) was added in 1990.

North Point I (North Point Building) is an eccentric office structure with seven levels. Five of the levels are above grade with two below, atop foundation of the former Press building. Its most distinctive features are its large triangular floor plans, which are split by an angled atrium with views of Cleveland's lakefront and Inner Harbor. It is also linked by a 1,000 car parking garage to the north and its counterpart, North Point II to the east.

North Point II (North Point Tower) reaches 20 stories and 286 ft (87 m). It holds 587,000 square feet (54,500 m2) of office space, and is clad in colorful tile panels. It was designed by Cleveland architect Jerry Payto.
