Krusinski Construction Company was hired by AMB Property Corporation to work with tenant, BAX Logistics on a Chicago-based industrial warehouse. It was essential that BAX Logistics be located near O’Hare to have access to Interstate 90. Unfortunately, there were no vacant sites available near O’Hare. There were also no existing structures that met the tenant’s specific needs. As a result, AMB decided to demolish an existing structure located in the desired vicinity. Construction of the domestic and international facilities included: clearing the site, re-engineering the existing utilities, extending a feeder street and installing a storm water trap system underneath the parking lot.
Krusinski’s client, IAC, selected a site for its latest speculative freight forwarding facility because of its proximity to O’Hare Airport. Access to the site proved to be challenging when the majority of the property could not be reached from any of the surrounding roads. To gain access to site from County Line Road, Krusinski created a temporary bridge over Bensenville Creek that remained in place until a permanent bridge could be built.
