balta1701-A Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I'm so going to punch this guy Willis if I ever meet him. Jerk. 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. London-based Willis said its move to the new space, at $14.50 per square foot, will result in significant real estate cost savings, and that there is no additional cost to the company associated with renaming the building. "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," said Joseph J. Plumeri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Willis Group Holdings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
