McHugh Construction Starts Vertical Construction on 5-Story Health Clinic on Chicago’s North Side

Vertical construction has started on a five-story healthcare facility and medical office for Howard Brown Health in Chicago, Illinois after breaking ground in late March. The project team includes McHugh Construction as the contractor and Eckenhoff Saunders as the architect.

The 91,000-square-foot building, which will replace another Howard Brown clinic, will include first-floor retail and a mix of clinical and administrative space, as well as underground parking and a rooftop terrace for events and functions. Construction is on track for completion in 2023.

With initial work including sheeting and underpinning complete and the tower crane installed, McHugh is building the concrete foundation and walls for the basement and starting the concrete building frame.

The building’s exterior will feature a glass curtain wall interspersed with brickwork in a variety of shades, while a setback on the top level accommodates the rooftop terrace.
