The Penton Media Building, formerly known as the Bond Court Building,[1] is a commercial high-rise building in Cleveland, Ohio. The building rises 253 feet (77 m) in Downtown Cleveland.[2] It contains 21 floors, and was completed in 1972.[3] The Penton Media Building currently stands as the 29th-tallest building in the city, tied in rank with the Ohio Savings Plaza and Ameritech Center. The architectural firm who designed the building was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill,[2] who also designed Chicago's Sears Tower and Dubai's Burj Dubai. The building is a part of the Bond Court complex.[3] It has served as the world headquarters of Penton Media since 2000.[4] Penton Media signed a 10-year lease agreement to occupy the building in 2000; in the process, the building was also renamed from the "Bond Court Building" to the "Penton Media Building".[1]

The Penton Media Building is similar in appearance to New York City's One Liberty Plaza and Chicago's Richard J. Daley Center.
