The tax payers pay for it:

[FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The 77 W. Wacker building is within a downtown tax subsidy district that would generate help for United. Known as a tax-increment financing district, or TIF, it provides money for corporate subsidies or public works from growth in property tax revenues.[/FONT]
