WILLIS TOWER RENOVATION CENTERPIECE GETS NAME, TENANTS
The five-story, 300,000-sq.-ft. addition to Chicago’s Willis Tower, the centerpiece of a US$668-million renovation by Blackstone Group, now has a name and tenants, Crain's Chicago Business reports. Catalog, an homage to the 110-story building's past as Sears’ headquarters, will be anchored by a 14,000-sq.-ft. food hall operated by London-based Urbanspace. Rounding out the dining options will be Shake Shack, Sweetgreen, Luke's Lobster and Taylor Gourmet. With three floors above ground and two below, Catalog will include 150,000 sq. ft. for tenants with a deck and garden and 55,000 sq. ft. of event space. Designed by Gensler, it is projected to open in mid 2020. The overall tower upgrade includes a new fitness center, tenant lounges and modernized vertical-transportation system, work that was awarded to Otis.
