Curtain Wall Restoration at Award-Winning Tower in Chicago
Silicone sealants and silicone extrusion tape replace the original 35-year-old sealants on the entire 588-foot-tall building’s curtain wall and bridge.
Western Specialty Contractors – Chicago Facades Branch and KBS, one of the largest owners and operators of commercial real estate buildings in the nation, are completing the restoration of a curtain wall at Accenture Tower, an award-winning, 1.46-million-square-foot, 42-story class A office and retail property at 500 West Madison Street in Chicago, Illinois.
The tower, completed in 1987 and formerly known as 500 West Madison, has twice earned The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award Internationally by The Building Owner and Managers Association. The building contains 40 stories of office space and 80,000 square feet of retail space over two levels. Sitting above the Ogilvie Transportation Center, the sixth-busiest railway commuter station/terminal in North America, Accenture Tower has earned a UL Verified Healthy Building verification and is LEED Gold and WiredScore Gold certified.
