SEARS TOWER, CHICAGO, USA


Assalamualaikum and have a good day to Pn. Hasni and all my friends.

Now, I would like to introduce about building of Sears Tower. Sears Tower is the tallest building in North America and the third tallest building in the world. Sears tower is situated in Wacker Drive in the heart of the West Loop, Chicago's Illinois, USA. Originally designed in the late 60's by Bruce Graham of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill.

Sears Tower was built on May 3, 1973 and cost of Sears Tower was $15o million. it is a very tall skyscraper with of hight 1,454 feet and it has 110 stories. The style of building is modern and it is location for business. The building is light inside because it is made of glass and steel and facing materials of building from black aluminium. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Chicago skyline and in the world. Sears Tower held the record for the world's tallest building for 25 years until the Petronas Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was built in 1988.

That's all about Sears Tower. Thank you.. :)
