Chicago's Willis Tower up for sale

Los Angeles

CHICAGO's Willis Tower, once the world's tallest building and one of the city's top tourist attractions, is up for sale.

The owners, which include New York-based investors Joseph Chetrit and Joseph Moinian, have hired brokerage Eastdil Secured to market the 110-story skyscraper, said a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the listing isn't public. It may fetch around US$1.5 billion, which would set a record for an office building in the third-biggest US city.
