Hidden Cleveland: Key Tower's 57th Floor

LeBron James’ high-flying feats are the stuff of SportsCenter highlights. But in 2007, he was rumored to have interest in a big score, but lost out when intellectual property law firm Amin, Turocy & Watson beat him to a primo penthouse in the 57th floor of Key Tower — the top floor of the tallest building in Ohio.

Amin, Turocy & Watson redesigned it into a slick office space with hardwood floors, floating ceilings and ample natural light.
