CHICAGO — It may be the architectural equivalent of having to watch Michael Jordan finish his career in a Washington Wizards uniform: The Sears Tower is turning into something called the Willis Tower.
The tallest building in the United States is getting a new name later this year, building management said Thursday. It’s all part of a deal with London-based Willis Group Holdings, which is moving 500 employees into 140,000 square feet on multiple floors of the 110-story building this summer.
The name change isn’t the first for Chicago. In 2006, the city’s State Street shopping district saw Marshall Field’s department store become Macy’s, and in 2003 the White Sox began playing at U.S. Cellular Field instead of Comiskey Park.
