Rising 396 feet above Cleveland’s historic Playhouse Square, The Lumen stands as the tallest residential building in Ohio. The 34-story tower features 318 luxury apartments and a 22,000-square-foot amenity deck, serving as a landmark addition to one of the nation’s largest theater districts.
Geauga Mechanical played a critical role in bringing this skyline-defining project to life, delivering a fully coordinated mechanical system designed to support high-rise performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Constructed on a tight one-acre urban footprint, The Lumen presented significant logistical and coordination challenges from the outset. With limited laydown space and constant activity in a dense downtown environment, material deliveries and installation sequencing required precise planning. The scale of the mechanical systems added another layer of complexity:
In addition to site constraints, the project was executed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring the team to adapt to evolving safety protocols and workforce limitations while maintaining progress on a highly visible development.
Geauga Mechanical’s Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) team led the coordination effort for the project team, developing a comprehensive model that guided the transition from Design/Assist to installation with minimal collisions and rework.
Through detailed modeling and planning, our team:
The Lumen was successfully delivered as a landmark multi-family development that combines architectural presence with dependable mechanical performance. Despite urban constraints and unprecedented construction conditions, the project was completed with:
The Lumen stands as a testament to Geauga Mechanical’s ability to manage scale, complexity, and coordination in high-profile multi-family developments.
