Taylor Johnson is pleased to announce our new client, James McHugh Construction Co., one of the largest construction managers and general contractors in the U.S. McHugh was the first company in Chicago to use a tower crane when it built Marina City in the 1960s, and has since constructed eight of Chicago’s 10 tallest concrete buildings. With the firm’s portfolio spanning everything from national landmark renovations to projects in the hospitality, office, retail, multifamily, education, institutional, parking and special use sectors, team TJ wasted no time in connecting Bisnow with McHugh for this story on best practices in delivering complicated projects with challenging schedules. And, in celebration of Women in Construction Week, we arranged for a few of McHugh’s all-star female project managers to speak with Bisnow and Illinois Real Estate Journal on the growing role of women in the construction industry. Stay tuned to TJ TALK for more news about McHugh.

James McHugh Construction Co. has 12 women in key positions on its project team constructing Vista Tower, the third-tallest building in Chicago.
