Every year, ENR Midwest is honored to rank the region’s largest projects that started construction during the previous calendar year. Again in 2015, the greater Chicago market stirred the pot, earning 16 of the spots among the top 50, including four in the top 10. Of Chicagoland’s Sweet 16, seven projects are in suburban Illinois and Indiana communities, while nine are in the city of Chicago proper.
“Chicago’s a great city to do work in. There’s always something going on,” says Robert Chmielowski, principal with structural engineer Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA). “It’s unique. The architecture is bold, and there is some really fun engineering work happening. We’re just happy to be a part of it.”
