Within the apartments, the McHugh/Crea joint venture is overseeing the installation of new appliances, countertops, plank flooring, plumbing, fixtures and lighting, plus electrical system upgrades and painting. Building corridors will also receive new finishes. The team began staggered renovations of the classic studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments at Prairie Shores in the fall of 2020. With units being renovated in phases, the community could maintain its high occupancy levels and minimize disruption for current residents.

Each unit within the 225,000 sf structure features 16-18-foot ceilings, and many include sprawling views of the city’s iconic skyline. On-site amenities in the six-story building include outdoor space, a community room, gymnasium, computer lab, and laundry facilities on every floor. The building features 24-hour security, and residents have on-site access to programs and supportive services including pre-K education, in-unit neonatal health care, and job training.

Originally constructed in 1906, the six-story building housed the massive printing presses that produced the Sears mail order catalog for several decades. After sitting vacant for almost 40 years, interior of the building was completely gutted to accommodate new floor plans.

McHugh served as construction manager for the expansion and renovation of 11 elementary and middle schools. The most significant work occurred at Hawthorne Elementary School, built in 1888, damaged by fire in 1917, and refurbished in 1921. McHugh constructed a new wing then rebuilt Hawthorne in sections while school remained in session. The construction safety program McHugh developed for Elmhurst’s York High School was equally effective for these smaller schools.
