United Airlines, its business decimated by the pandemic, said Wednesday it will trim its headquarters space in Willis Tower by 17%.
The airline said the cutback will involve three of the 17 floors it occupies in the skyscraper, Chicago’s tallest.
It said the floors will be vacated in January 2022. The reduction will take United, one of the largest office users in downtown Chicago, down to 700,000 square feet at Willis Tower for a lease that runs through 2033.
“Due to the unprecedented impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our industry, United continues to find new ways to become more efficient as we continue to navigate through this crisis,” spokeswoman Rachael Rivas said.
