Chicago's Historic Post Office (Rooftop Tour)

The Chicago Post Office had not had a letter pass through it in over a decade. Several redevelopment efforts took place over the coming years, but none gained traction until New York based developer, 601 West Companies purchased the building in 2016, entrusting its renovation to Gensler and its team of designers.
The task, in essence, was to transform an industrial warehouse into a modern workplace, and so it was pertinent that the revitalized building provided its tenants the same amenities that new construction buildings offered. This is how the Meadow came to be. At over three acres, the nation’s largest private rooftop garden would provide an escape for the building’s 16,000 tenants, offering plenty of seating, a quarter-mile running track, multi-sports court, and two platform tennis courts.
