CHICAGO, IL (Oct. 23, 2013) – Englewood Construction, one of

The Shops at North Bridge in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.

“Seasons 52 provides
a casual, sophisticated dining option for visitors to Chicago’s famed shopping
and entertainment corridor along Michigan Avenue,” said William Di Santo,
president of Lemont, Ill.-based Englewood Construction. “It’s a warm, inviting
atmosphere with rich mahogany and stone accents.”
Englewood performed
landlord infrastructure work at a 9,249-square-foot space for Macerich, owner
of The Shops at North Bridge. The general contractor then began a build-out at
the same location for Orlando, Fla.-based Darden Restaurants Inc., owner and
operator of Seasons 52.
Noted for its
lighter approach to dining with seasonally inspired menus, the restaurant
opened October 17th and marks the third Seasons 52 in the Chicago area. Darden
also operates a Seasons 52 in Schaumburg and another in Oak Brook.
Seasons 52’s
contemporary style includes a circular piano bar featuring live music nightly,
an open kitchen with a brick oven, a chef’s table and a customized,
climate-controlled wine chateau holding upwards of 2,000 bottles of wine. The
Chicago location seats approximately 300 guests.
Located on the ground-floor at the corner of Rush Street and
Grand Avenue, Seasons 52 joins one of Michigan Avenue’s premier shopping
centers. The Shops at North Bridge’s multiple levels are home to more than 70
luxury retailers and restaurants, including anchor tenants Nordstrom, Sephora,
Armani Exchange and a new Microsoft store.

“Our previous
experience working along the high-traffic, high-profile area of Michigan Avenue
helped us navigate the process and provide smooth service without interruptions,”
Di Santo said.
“Englewood’s construction activity has increased in the
upscale dining segment of the restaurant industry. Our extensive track record
with national restaurant clients has helped us secure more projects in this
niche market. Also, there’s been a higher demand for the upscale dining
experience as the economy is recovering.”
Orlando, Fla.-based
Cuhaci & Peterson Architects worked with Englewood on the build-out of the
space. Seasons 52 debuted in 2003 and has expanded into more than 40 cities
throughout the U.S.
