Latest on twitter:
The Sears Tower will invite its Skydeck visitors to enjoy a view usually reserved for window-washers and superheroes.
It’ll be a walk on the high side as visitors on the observation deck step into glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the building. Beneath their feet in dizzyness-inducing splendor will be the city itself, 103 stories below, with an inch and a half of glass between person and pavement.Four glassed-in outcroppings on the west side of the Sears Skydeck let visitors feel like they’re floating over the city below. The ledge was inspired by similar decks at the Grand Canyon and Toronto’s CN Tower.
The attraction, called the Ledge, should open by early June and is part of a multimillion dollar renovation of the tourist spaces at the nation’s tallest building.
The plan is to attract more Skydeck visitors, especially jaded locals who haven’t visited the tower in years.
