Sears Tower

A London based insurance organization, Willis Group Holdings, has leased 140,000 sq. feet of Chicago’s Sears Tower. Along with the lease comes the naming rights to the tallest building in the United States. The group will be moving in later this summer as a part of consolidating their Chicagoland offices.

Among other changes aside from the name, there could be some aesthetic changes made to the landmark, including re-coating the exterior in silver to lower energy costs and attract new tenants.
