Description

Panera Bread, formerly known as St. Louis Bread Company, Inc., had just begun implementing a development plan to penetrate the Chicago market. All restaurants already completed in this market were either restaurant conversions or shopping mall locations. This project was the first new freestanding Panera Bread restaurant in the state of Illinois. Like other fast food chains, Panera Bread also has a prototype building design, which corporate wanted to use. Luckily, the landlord did not like their design and hired us to design/build a restaurant that would compliment the entire shopping center.

Country Club Hills Shurgard Storage was the last of three (3) large development projects in Illinois before corporate reorganized and halted all construction. This complex consists of fourteen (14) separate buildings totaling 80,000sf. The two larger buildings are climate controlled and are linked to the office building. We also had the opportunity to develop several other sites in Michigan.
