The Ernst & Young Tower, also called EYTC, is a tall skyscraper in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It was finished in 2013 and stands on the east side of the Flats area. This building is a great example of modern design, using lots of glass and steel.

The tower has 23 floors and reaches a height of about 330 feet (100 m). Inside, it offers a huge 480,000 square feet (45,000 m2) of space for offices. The main company in the building is Ernst & Young, a big accounting firm from London. They moved into this tower in 2013, giving the building its name. Ernst & Young helps businesses manage their money and finances. The company started in Cleveland in 1903 as Ernst & Ernst. Later, it joined with Young & Co. in 1989 to form the company we know today.
