Project Narrative: This retailer's store, located in the city’s “Loop” area, features a large, 7,128-ft2 green roof that complements the multistory structure. Visible from the observation deck of the Sears Tower, the GreenGrid® Green Roof covers approximately 10% of the building’s rooftop.

The green roof is composed of 891 Extensive (4-inch) GreenGrid® modules and was fully installed in 5 days. The GreenGrid® extensive modules were planted with a Sedum species mix containing Sedum acre, Sedum ‘Bailey’s Gold,’ and Sedum spurium ‘Dragon’s Blood.’ The photos were taken shortly after installation was completed.
