Willis Tower
is strategically located on Wacker
Drive in the heart of the West Loop, Chicago’s premier submarket
and home to its largest corporations and commuter rail stations. Completed
in early 1973, Willis Tower is an attractive and contemporary 110-story
trophy office tower consisting of steel columns and beams in a “mega-module”
system. The building contains approximately 3.8 million rentable square
feet (“RSF”) including approximately 159,000 RSF of retail
space. The Property also features a 160-car executive parking garage
accessible from Franklin Street. Other amenities include a world-class
broadcast platform, tallest skydeck, full-service conference center,
fitness facility, and exceptional technology features.
Willis Tower
, completed May 3, 1973, rises
to a height of 1,450 feet and is one of the most recognizable landmarks
in the Chicago skyline and in the world. Willis Tower
held the record for the world’s tallest building for 25 years
until the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia were built in 1998.
Then in the Fall of 2004 Taipei 101 took all but one title -- tallest
to the tips of the antennas, which Willis Tower still owns. Including
the Willis Tower antennas, the total height of Willis
Tower increases to 1,725 feet. Designed by the architectural
firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for Sears, Roebuck & Company,
the world’s largest retailer at the time, the 3.8 million RSF
building is the preeminent office address in Chicago and one of the
premier properties in the world.
The Property provides an exceptional unparallel West Loop location,
unparalleled views from all of the property’s highly efficient
floors and an unmatched prestige.
