Sears Tower, we hardly knew ye…
Comments (0) The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Sears Tower’s new owners will be (ugh) changing its name (I just threw up a little bit in my mouth):
Sears Tower will change its name to Willis Tower under the terms of a new lease signed by global insurance broker Willis Group Holdings.
Willis Group plans to consolidate five area offices and move nearly 500 Associates into Willis Tower, at 233 S. Wacker, initially occupying more than 140,000 square feet on multiple floors.
I can’t believe they thought this was a good idea. The CEO was quotes as saying, “Having our name associated with Chicago’s most iconic structure underscores our commitment to this great city, and recognizes Chicago’s importance as a major financial hub and international business center,” but what he missed out on is that it also makes you a GIANT TOOL!
I’m all riled up now…
