McHugh Construction’s Eye For Cost Savings Helps Mixed-Income Bronzeville Project Become A Reality
While Taylor Johnson client James McHugh Construction Co. has a strong legacy of building multifamily skyscrapers and boutique hotels, the general contractor also has a growing presence in the affordable housing sector. So, when McHugh and Brown & Momen, Inc., began constructing 508 Pershing at Oakwood Shores, a 53-unit mixed-use, mixed-income rental community in Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood, team TJ quickly spread the word. We also pointed out how McHugh identified $3 million in savings through suggesting alternative materials, which helped move the project through the budgeting process. Resulting coverage of the building’s construction progress appeared in a number of media outlets, including Chicago Construction News, Building Design + Construction, REjournals, REBusinessOnline, and Connect Chicago.
