CHICAGO,IL (June 18, 2013) – Englewood Construction, one of the country’s leading commercial construction firms, has announced its retail group has begun work on the Chicago market’s first Ports 1961, a luxury apparel retailer, in Rosemont, Ill.

“Ports 1961 chose to enter the Chicago area by locating within Fashion Outlets of Chicago,” said William Di Santo, president of Lemont, Ill.-based Englewood Construction.

“The retail world is anxiously awaiting the August 1 opening of this world-class fashion outlet mall in Rosemont. Fashion Outlets of Chicago will be home to more than 120 leading designer and top brand retail stores, and astute retailers like Ports 1961 know the value of having a presence there.”
