PROJECT EXPERIENCE

MEJURI 900 N RUSH ST.

SARA E.F GENSBURG LTD.

The Mejuri Rush Street showroom is a standout build emphasizing precision craftsmanship and custom detail throughout its modern retail concept. As the general contractor, our team transformed the high‑traffic corner space into an inviting, elevated boutique that reflects Mejuri’s brand of everyday luxury. The project involved extensive coordination with the client’s design team to integrate high‑end millwork, warm lighting systems, and polished finishes within a compact urban footprint. From structural reinforcement and new MEP systems to meticulous tile and fixture alignment, each element demanded fine attention to detail and scheduling efficiency. Working within Chicago’s bustling Gold Coast district required careful logistics and sequencing to minimize disruption and maintain safety standards from start to finish. The completed space showcases expert collaboration, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a seamless delivery process matching Mejuri’s refined aesthetic.


PROJECT EXPERIENCE

SYD JEROME Working with Syd Jerome was truly a privilege. The original project teams found themselves participating in the transformation of a storied Chicago menswear retailer, established in 1958, into a space that reflected luxury and superior craftsmanship. Every stage required meticulous work with high-end materials and finishes that needed to meet the brand’s exceptional standards. Syd Jerome’s management communicated clearly, outlining project requirements and timelines, which allowed teams to coordinate seamlessly. Contractors often collaborated with designers to integrate both form and function, ensuring the final product maintained the iconic atmosphere. The store’s reputation for quality and personalized service set the benchmark for every renovation and expansion. Ultimately, we took pride in being part of a project where craftsmanship mattered, deadlines were respected, and the outcome stood as a testament to timeless Chicago retail excellence.

HAWTHORN

TRICOCI Working on the Tricoci Hawthorn salon involved honoring a legacy of innovation and high-end service in Illinois’ beauty industry. We handled upgrades and renovations with precision, using premium materials that reflected the salon’s reputation for luxury and cutting-edge treatments. Clear communication and adherence to timelines were essential, as the salon served a loyal, upscale clientele. The project demanded attention to detail to align with the brand’s standards established over decades by Mario Tricoci, a pioneer who introduced the first privately owned mall salon and Midwest’s first day spa. Contractors took pride in contributing to a space that married elegance with modern wellness, helping maintain Tricoci’s status as a leader in the highly competitive salon and spa industry.

The AllSaints store, located in Scottsdale Fashion Square, represents a refined retail build focused on sophisticated urban design and functional retail space. The project demanded precise coordination to create a layout that supports both high-end fashion displays and a seamless customer flow within the busy mall environment. Attention to detail was crucial in integrating sleek finishes, ambient lighting, and custom fixtures that embody the brand’s edgy yet elevated aesthetic. We had to work closely with designers and mall management to meet strict standards for durability, safety, and aesthetics, ensuring the space harmonizes with the upscale shopping center. Ultimately, the build balances technical execution and craftsmanship, delivering a retail environment that highlights the AllSaints brand’s modern, fashion-forward identity while creating an inviting, efficient space for shoppers and staff alike.


PROJECT EXPERIENCE

FILSON 167 N. SANGAMON ST.

ARIA GROUP

Filson West Loop stands as a showcase of craftsmanship and coordination from a contractor’s perspective. 41 North Contractors transformed the historic West Loop structure into a retail space that reflects Filson’s rugged, heritageinspired identity. The project included complete interior construction—structural upgrades, polished concrete flooring, custom millwork, detailed lighting, and integrated display systems designed around the brand’s signature materials. Working within an industrial framework required precision planning and collaboration with the design team to balance authenticity with functionality. Reclaimed wood, steel, and brick surfaces were thoughtfully restored or fabricated to achieve a seamless, handcrafted aesthetic while meeting modern building standards. From site logistics to finish detailing, every step emphasized durability and quality. The finished space captures both the craftsmanship of Filson and the construction excellence of 41 North—a build rooted in integrity, precision, and timeless design.

Testimonials Go Thyme Hospitality Partner

TODD DAVIES

It is a great pleasure of mine to recommend at the highest level I possibly can, 41 North Contractors for general contractors and construction work. The museum has been contracting with 41 North for more than the past eight years, and will continue based on their current and previous performance. On time and on budget are cliché used in our business way too often, but aptly applies to 41 North, plus a lot more. They become a partner, not just a vendor. They offer a complete array of general contractor services and manage the trades working simultaneously to the benefit of the client. They provide quality workmanship and very strong leadership for our construction projects. ...41 North stands up to the challenge and gets the work done without impacting our guests. 41 North is also very good at having a plethora of people offer advice but does not miss a beat with the challenges thrown at them.

TIM CANNING Principal Owner of Foxtail Restaurant Group Over the past five years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with 41 North Contractors on multiple projects. Their unwavering commitment to quality and professionalism is evident from the initial design phase through to project completion. Their meticulous attention to scheduling and coordination has consistently ensured smooth execution and timely delivery. I truly value our partnership and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with 41 North Contractors.

The team’s strong coordination, proactive problemsolving, and commitment to mentoring new professionals make them an invaluable partner for Raising Cane’s.

NICK LIAROMATIS Co-Founder & Chief Legal Officer at Terrabis

41N is the best, truly. They are the most dedicated, hardworking, caring, competent contractors I have ever had the pleasure of working with. There is nothing they cannot fix, repair or build! If they have not done it before, no problem they will find away and relish in the endeavor of learning something new. I have worked on countless projects with them from small remodels to 14,000 sq. ft. ground up buildings and have never felt in better hands regardless of the scale of the project. I cannot recommend them enough, they are not only fair but truly have never let us down when it comes to deadlines or timing. A true gem in the field of construction.
