This has been an exciting journey for Salesforce, and we’re thrilled to be part of something that will have a lasting impact on Chicago and its skyline. We’ve also been able to scale our amazing culture in the area, and are proud to say that Salesforce has been named one of Chicago’s best workplaces for five consecutive years. Today, we’ve met that commitment more than a year ahead of schedule. When we announced the building in 2018, we made a public commitment to our growth in Chicago with a pledge to add 1,000 jobs over the next five years. It’s an opportunity for us to thank the construction crews, architects, engineers - and anyone who had a hand in the development of the building - for all their incredible work bringing Salesforce Tower Chicago to life over the last four years.

But for some reason the turbine was eliminated once Hines won the contest. Incidentally, in the original design, the metal-screened crown of Salesforce was intended to have a structural purpose: All the designs submitted for the "beauty contest" for the Transbay tower had screened wind turbines at their tops, I believe, because they were all required to be as "green" as possible (this may also explain why there is no observation deck at the top although there are plenty of other reasons, starting with security, for that).
