Although not opening for service until 2025, BEAR is substantially complete on the buildout of a new Gastrointestinal (GI) Clinic. The new 15,000-SF outpatient facility, located on the 8th floor of the new Joan and Paul Rubschlager building on the Rush University campus, consists of examination rooms, purpose-built office workspaces and consultation rooms. Scope included new HVAC systems integration, plumbing and electrical work to meet the specific needs of the clinic. At this time, we are only able to share a sneak-peek of the greeter's desk, but we look forward to sharing more information and photos on this project in the future. Thank you to our partners on this project: Architect of Record: HDR Engineer of Record: Affiliated Engineers, Inc. (AEI) #BEARcc #RUMC #RushUniversityMedicalCenter #HDR #AEI

BEAR recently completed significant interior alterations to an existing leased PNC Bank space as well as a detached building servicing a drive-thru lane for PNC Bank Kankakee. The varied scope of work was highlighted by reducing the number of teller stations along the teller line by building a non-structural drywall partition and screening the vacated teller stations. BEAR also provided new finishes such as carpeting, paint and wall base, as well as replacement of 1×1 concealed spline ceiling tile with a new 2×2 suspended ceiling system and installing new energy efficient LED lighting systems with Lutron Controls. Additional scope included new loose furniture, new millwork counters and fixed cabinetry. https://lnkd.in/gxsswR6K #BEARcc #VAAI #PNC

Last Friday, November 15th, the SIOR Chicago Chapter hosted its annual Skeet Shooting Recruiting Event at the scenic Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation in Dundee, Illinois! The event was a perfect blend of strategy, focus, and precision—mirroring the art of identifying opportunities, taking decisive action, and building meaningful connections. Our newest team member, Margaret Ames, joined us for her first time on the course and impressed everyone with her determination and adaptability under pressure. Welcome to the team, Margaret! A big thank you to the event sponsor, Bear Construction, and making this this event a success. Here's to more opportunities to connect, learn, and grow together! #SIOR #Bearconstruction #mentorship #industrialre #broker #SVNchicago

BEAR's recent renovation of the Sky Lounge on the 41st floor of 1 E. Wacker Drive transformed a unique space into a modern, upscale lounge with an eye-catching bar and a radial ceramic tile design. The lounge offers breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline, creating an unforgettable experience for guests. A key challenge was material and equipment transport as the building’s freight elevator only reached the 39th floor. The team overcame this obstacle by working closely with our trade partners to precisely coordinate schedules while allowing for longer than usual delivery times. The end result of this effort is a sophisticated space that blends innovative design with functionality, making it a standout destination for the building’s tenants.
