DETAILS:

540 West Madison is a 1.15 million-square-foot LEED Platinum-certified office building. Its geometry and orientation create a distinct presence, with an inviting entry plaza on Madison Street. A leader in sustainability, the building's sixth floor includes a rooftop apiary and garden that uses a rainwater irrigation system--the first of its kind in the city. Recognized for its exceptional energy-saving measures, the building was honored with the ComEd RcX Project of the Year award in 2023 and 2024.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Visit the lobby, the newly renovated 2nd floor cafe, and 6th floor roof garden and apiary. A brochure with building information will also be available for guests.
