Transforming an Icon – The Greening and Modernization of Willis Tower
Located in Chicago’s West Loop, the 3.8 million-square-foot,
mixed-use tower includes office, retail, restaurant, antenna/broadcasting
facilities and parking space, as well as the Skydeck observatory,
one of Chicago’s top tourist attractions.
Recently, U.S. Equities, the exclusive management and leasing
agent for the tower, along with the building owners announced
plans to transform this global icon with the most significant
sustainable modernization project of an existing building ever
undertaken. The project will significantly reduce energy use
and CO2 emissions, in addition to spurring economic development.
This greening and modernization project will
bring a new vitality to the West Loop, transforming the tower
into one of the leaders in a global movement toward a more sustainable
future.
