The Sears Tower, completed on 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. The Sears Tower held the record for the world’s
tallest building for 25 years until the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were built in 1998. 47 But
Sears Tower guides are keen to inform people that, including its antennas, the total height of the Sears Tower
increases to 1,725 feet and it is still the world’s tallest building. 48 Once at the top, if the weather is clear, the
views reach up to 80 km away.
49 Each floor of the building is divided into 75-foot, column-free squares, which provide maximum
planning, flexibility, and efficiency. Large windows provide maximum light and views, and the use of the finest
material throughout the building’s common areas provides an environment consistent with the prestige of the
property. 50 The building is the preeminent office address in Chicago, and the address means business.
