CHICAGO, IL (October 29, 2014) – Englewood Construction, one of the country’s leading commercial construction firms, has announced its restaurant and retail groups have recently broken ground on four projects, completed three projects and started work on one expansion project across the country.

In the Chicago area, Englewood’s restaurant group recently broke ground on an 11,265-square-foot, ground-up Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurant in Oaklawn, Ill., and an expansion for the popular Purple Pig restaurant on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. 

This will be the seventh Chicago-area location for Cooper’s Hawk, which is known for its upscale casual dining and Napa-style wine tasting experience.

The Purple Pig, located in one of Chicago’s busiest commercial corridors, is a popular Mediterranean restaurant and collaboration between several of the city’s famed chefs.

“The restaurant industry remains thriving as consumers continue to crave experiences that can’t be replicated at home,” said William Di Santo, president of Lemont, Ill.-based Englewood Construction.

 “We are excited to embark on two such high-profile projects in the Chicago area. Cooper’s Hawk brings a refreshing design challenge as the owners strive to create a unique environment and experience in each restaurant they develop. We look forward to making the Oak Lawn restaurant a stand-out location.

“As for the Purple Pig, our extensive experience on Michigan Avenue and sterling track record with fine-dining restaurant development will serve us well on this build-out project.”
