Reserve Square is a two-building skyscraper complex in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Both buildings have 23 floors and are 266 feet (81 m) high. Embassy Suites Tower houses one of the five Hilton hotels in downtown Cleveland (Hilton Cleveland Downtown Hotel, Double Tree Hotel Cleveland, Hilton Garden Inn (Cleveland), and the Hampton Inn (Cleveland). Reserve Square is a mixed use complex that accommodates residential, commercial, and hospitality needs. The Square is directly west of the senior residential Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority's Bohn Towers. The complex was originally called The Park Center and was an extension of the Erieview Plan. One of the goals of this plan was to create residential zones in downtown Cleveland, however, by the 1970's completion of the Tower at Erieview, One Erieview Plaza and Reserve Square this was only partially achieved. 〔Deegan, G.G. & Toman, J.A. (1999). The doldrums 1950-1979. ''The Heart of Cleveland: Public square in the 20th century.'' Cleveland Landmark Press:Cleveland, Ohio. 〕 The Park Center was considered progressive in both its scope and forward thinking straight styling urban design. It stands as a lasting symbol to these lofty aspirations. ==History== The West Tower, where Embassy is, was built in 1969, and East Tower is a residential skyscraper completed in 1973.〔Emporis.com: (Reserve Square ). Accessed 2007-05-17.〕 It was designed by the Cleveland architectural firm Dalton-Dalton-Newport-Little, which at one time was one of the most prominent firms in the world, so much so that in 1984, Dalton was acquired by URS Corp of San Francisco.〔Van Tassel, D.D. & Grabowski, J.J. (Eds.) (1987). URS Dalton. ''The encyclopedia of Cleveland history.'' Indiana University press:Bloomington, Indiana.〕 Its design was influenced by Le Corbusier's modernist residential housing development Unité d'Habitation. This style almost approaches Brutalism in its simplicity and showing of building utilities, though it is a bit more refined than that style of urban planning. Cleveland television stations WOIO and WUAB (which are both owned by the Raycom Media of Montgomery, Alabama〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-15〕) have their broadcast studios on the building's first floor. They have been present in the tower since at least their switch to becoming the CBS affiliate in Cleveland in 1994. 〔 Retrieved on 2015-10-15〕 The K & D Group of Willoughby, Ohio purchased the apartment tower for $36 million in August 2005,〔Bullard, Stan. (K&D buys Reserve Square ), ''Crain's Cleveland Business''. 2005-08-31.〕 and purchased the hotel that December for $5.1 million.〔Bullard, Stan.
