Engineer: Fazlur Khan of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.Constructed 1970-1974 In the late 1960s, Sears Roebuck and Company, then the worlds largest retailer with $8.9 billion in sales, decided to consolidate its administrative operations in downtown Chicago. The company determined it needed 3 million ft2 of office space with floors of 50,000 ft2 to accommodate its 13,000 employees in their major departments. The first designs were for a boxy structure exclusively for Sears, but the architects and real estate advisors pressed for a taller tower with upper floors for tenants. The building slowly stretched to 4.5 million ft2 and 110 stories, and in July 1970, Sears trumpeted its plans for the worlds tallest building. At 1454 feet, its height surpassed the World Trade Center by 100 feet and was, according to Sears as tall as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) will let us go. For more than twenty years after its completion in 1974, Sears Tower remained the tallest skyscraper, and it is still the largest. As designed by architect Bruce Graham and engineer Fazlur Khan of the Chicago office of Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM)
