Scope Of Work
Overlooking the city from atop its architecturally impressive tiara, the inspiring 41-story Great American Tower crowns Cincinnati with its tallest skyscraper to date. Baker's total package concrete efforts formed this iconic landmark with a demanding 2 million sq ft of concrete which was poured around a self-climbing core and included a 10-level cast-in-place parking garage.
Baker was awarded the AGC of Ohio 2010 Build Ohio Award in recognition for its work on the Great American Tower.
The Great American Tower was the second-highest ranked skyscraper in the U.S. for 2011 according to Emporis. It tied with two other buildings for fourth place for the 2011 Emoris Skyscraper Award.
