ROLE

Construction Manager

ICI concurrently completed the construction of two significant retail developments for Kensington Development Partners in suburban Chicago.

ICI was retained as construction manager for the demolition of the existing strip center, associated site work and the core and shell of 112,000 square feet of retail space.

ROLE

Construction Manager

When Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille was building their first location outside of Texas in 2013, the restaurant group entrusted ICI. The 11,000 square foot build-out on the ground floor of Neiman Marcus in Oak Brook Shopping Center in Oak Brook, Illinois was a success.

Perry’s then opened their second location in Illinois (this time in Schaumburg) and once again selected ICI as their construction manager. The 12,000 square foot restaurant opened in October 2020 and features Perry’s newest design elements and offers seating for 330 diners, four private dining rooms and a bar attached to a spacious patio.

Most recently, ICI has been hired as Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille’s construction manager for concurrent renovations to five of their locations across three states. Improvements to the following restaurants are currently underway: Frisco, Sugar Land, and Woodlands, Texas; Lone Tree, Colorado and Oak Brook, Illinois. Each restaurant is open throughout construction. The scope of work varies by location but largely includes transforming each of the restaurants into Perry’s newest scheme: a vibrant color palette with modern touches punctuated by details that celebrate the local community.

ROLE

Construction Manager

In 2018, ICI was retained by ShopCore Properties under a preconstruction agreement to perform a series of cost studies on various options for repurposing the Streets of Woodfield Shopping Center. The real estate group had recently added the asset to its portfolio and needed cost consulting services to evaluate a course of action on the property. ICI subsequently completed 15 cost studies for ShopCore varying in scale and scope from $150,000.00 tenant build-outs / repurposing of existing spaces to $30 million new construction alternatives. Throughout the cost estimating and preconstruction process, ICI built massing models in-house using REVIT, Sketch-Up and AutoCad in order to accurately extract material quantities from the models.

In late 2021, ShopCore engaged ICI for tenant improvements to the Restoration Hardware Outlet within Streets of Woodfield and that project is currently underway.

As part of the construction, ICI built an AV and equipment room in the office of the mall and installed a new transformer to run all of the computer and video components of the tree. One of the more challenging parts of the project was running power and data from the AV and Equipment Room to the center court of the mall, where the tree is located several hundred feet away. The power and data was run through occupied stores, common area soffits, exposed common areas of the mall and at times, several feet in the air.
