    We are thrilled to announce the completion of The Foundry at 1475 N Kingsbury - the fourth and final component of The Shops at Big Deahl planned development. Standing 27-stories, The Foundry is the tallest structure of the three-building development and includes 327-unit market rate apartments, ground-level retail and four levels of parking. Located in the Near North Side of Chicago, it also includes The Seng (for-sale affordable condos), Common Lincoln Park (co-living apartments), and Seng Park (a new public park). The success of this project was a collaborative effort between our project team, White Oak Realty Partners, FitzGerald Associates, and our self-perform concrete and carpentry groups. Dave Burk

    Project update: our #VIPGroup has been working on a stabilization project at Northwestern University's Central Utility Plant (CUP). After five months of planning and multiple engineering analyses, our team used a large crane to hoist a decommissioned boiler from the 1960's to be replaced with new equipment to service the Evanston campus. In addition to boiler replacement, the project includes substantial upgrades to critical equipment to enhance boiler feedwater processing and improve condensate return treatment. Big picture, this CUP stabilization project will boost the efficiency and reliability of the plant, as well as extend the lifespan of its equipment. Northwestern University

    Our #PowerVIPGroup recently completed a 30,000 sf emergency department expansion at Resurrection Medical Center. This project was designed to maximize impact and reduce treatment wait-time by featuring state-of-the-art imaging equipment, numerous exam rooms, a dedicated decontamination area, and an ambulance garage to minimize patient transfer time from vehicle to room. To ensure the new layout was optimally functional, our VDC team created a virtual environment where a Oculus VR headset was utilized for nursing and physician staff to walk their new space and offer feedback on design and logistics. This approach was highly successful, saving our team time and, most importantly, ensuring the space meets the staff's needs. We are proud to continue supporting our 60 year partnership with Resurrection Medical Center! Ascension CannonDesign Medxcel

    One of our favorite days of the year! Our 2024 Annual Meeting was an opportunity to celebrate the past year's achievements, share updates on ongoing initiatives, and discuss the state of our business. Most importantly, it allowed us to honor our #PowerPeople, whose dedication, innovation and passion drive our continued success and growth. With over 400 employees in attendance, from summer interns and new hires to seasoned Power Veterans, we are grateful for our #PowerFamily. A thank you to everyone involved in organizing and executing this successful event. We also extend our gratitude to our partners at Educo for their support in helping us shine.

    Having already welcomed its first patients, Rush Specialty Hospital stands as a beacon of top-tier acute care within the RUSH University Medical Center's campus. This expansive 135,000 sf, five-story facility serves as both a critical illness recovery center and an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. With 44 critical illness recovery beds and 56 inpatient rehabilitation beds, the hospital was meticulously designed to enhance the patient experience, ensuring their stay is as impactful and restorative as possible. Standing at 93 feet tall, the building's exterior features glass and a white aluminum cladding system. Additionally, the project includes a surface parking lot for 70 cars. We are proud to be a part of this team that is committed to advancing medical excellence and bringing comprehensive care to the community.
