BRECKSVILLE, Ohio – Valor Acres, a mixed-use development under construction in Brecksville, is now seeking tenants.

Leasing has started at Valor Acres. CBRE is brokering the property, which is planned to have a 200,000-square-foot, five-story office building, 200 apartments and condos, a 120-room hotel, along with 150,000 square feet of entertainment are planned at Valor Acres.

Valor Acres is located near Interstate 77 and Sherwin-Williams’ new research and development center, which is still under construction along Miller Road.

BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — A major milestone was marked last week at the mixed-use development Valor Acres.

Construction workers celebrated a topping-off with the placement of the final steel beam for Sherwin-Williams Co.’s new roughly $250 million Global Research and Development Center.

“It’s a milestone in the project directing attention to the interior finishings and exterior site work — all culminating in the grand opening of the facility,” Mayor Jerry Hruby said.

Started in late 2021, construction of the 600,000-square-foot facility — future home to chemists, engineers, technicians and support teams supporting product development, coatings research, color technology and process engineering — is expected to be completed next year.

“The Sherwin-Williams Global Research and Development Center at Valor Acres will provide jobs and income to the region and enhances the already fine reputation of our city,” Hruby said.

“It will be a magnet for future development to come to Valor Acres and the future growth of Sherwin-Williams and our business community. We’re fortunate as a community to see this global company become part of our city and the benefits it brings to our future.”

The final beam — bearing the signatures of more than 400 construction workers, supervisors, project architects, engineers and designers, as well as local elected officials — was adorned with an American flag and an evergreen tree.

The development has been in the works since the mid-2010s, when rezoning was passed for the project by Brecksville City Council.

“These new buildings showcase how truly unique the Valor Acres development will be,” continued Trifu, “We’re right between the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Metroparks Brecksville Reservation. Even when the Sherwin-Williams offices open, as well as other unique commercial elements come online, our residents will still be surrounded by nature and just a short drive to all Brecksville has to offer. We like to think of it as city living with a huge backyard.”
