Skender recently completed construction on an expansive demolition and three-floor buildout for AIT Worldwide Logistics at Two Pierce Place in the Hamilton Lakes Business Park located in Northwest Suburban Itasca, Illinois. Skender kicked off construction on the two-phase project in February 2023, and completed the project in 22 weeks total (six weeks of demolition and slab infill, 16 weeks of construction).
AIT, a global supply chain solutions company, is occupying floors 20, 21 and 25 within the 25-floor, 494,000-square-foot Class A office tower. The buildout included 210 workstations, 43 enclosed offices, nine conference rooms, a boardroom, a 2,000-square-foot café with meal prep and seating, a dedicated reception area, and game room, along with several collaboration areas built throughout the floors to boost communication among teammates. The executive floor is a world-class environment designed to support strategic planning and integrated management of AIT’s global initiatives, while providing hospitable surroundings to welcome customers, partners and other visitors.
Skender also completed work on the base building restrooms while leading AIT’s tenant buildout project.
In addition to Skender, which served as general contractor, key participants on this project included: Partners by Design, architect; RLE, owner’s rep; and Advance Consulting Group, engineer.
Skender has recently completed several high-profile buildout projects at suburban and downtown properties for some of the most recognized corporate names. In Oak Brook, Skender built Ace Hardware’s new headquarters at the former McDonald’s corporate campus (the largest suburban buildout since 2018), as well as flagship Chicago offices for Salesforce, Milwaukee Tool, Walgreens and PepsiCo.
