But can someone please tell me what more we’ll be seeing for the $500 million investment? I know there’s an observation deck component.. I am just secretly holding out hope they reclad the tower like was once planned. Just imagine that new smoke glass and shiny black millions going all the way up!

WTF no, the Sears needs no updating or "improvement" aside from the base.
The $500 million is likely mostly stuff you will never see like HVAC, electrical, and plumbing upgrades. What do you think a new electrical service costs for a building of this scale? How many thousands of tons of AC does this building require? That ain't cheap. I'm looking at a $1.5 million bill to install an RTU and trunk lines (no distribution even) for a 80,000 SF building. Now multiply that by like 50+ times to get a cost for Sears...
