Renovations at Willis Tower Brings Security to New Heights

Step out on The Ledge and explore the security at Willis Tower from the inside out. The 1,450-foot-tall skyscraper is undergoing an unprecedented $500 million redevelopment, including 300,000 square feet of dining, entertainment, and tenant amenities. As a U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act designated site, the challenges include balancing the demands of the building’s distinction with the competitive leasing market and trends toward open collaborative workspaces.
