Any long-time readers of Hard Hat Chat have probably picked up on the fact that I’m a big fan of the negotiated bid. While there are valid reasons a client might go the competitive bid route, there are many more scenarios where the negotiated delivery method is better for all parties. It’s A Multi-Phase Project.

Now that spring is officially here, I wanted to reflect on the Chicago retail construction trends and news we’ve seen so far in 2011. From the new commercial construction projects we know are in the pipeline, to what I heard at the recent Bisnow Chicago Retail Summit , I am cautiously optimistic. Good News/Bad News.

As 2011 comes to a close, it’s time for us to look back on the commercial construction building trends , news and projects of this past year and share our thoughts on the highs and lows in the industry. In fact, our commercial construction budget work was back to 2008 levels. And some firms had 11 GCs bid on jobs. I was wrong.

as mall owners and retail tenants figure out who will be responsible for commercial construction services in a “build to suit” shopping center construction space. This space has virtually been untouched by a landlord’s commercial construction general contractor. This is most popular with big retail leases in 2011. Vanilla box.

I’ll say it again, 2010 was a rebuilding year for the commercial construction industry. So I’ve created a commercial construction checklist for what we considered the highs and lows of 2010 commercial construction trends. There are still far too many distressed commercial properties on the market. Low – Green building.

There’s no doubt that local businesses will have much to celebrate if on October 2, 2009, Chicago wins the 2016 Summer Olympics bid. But just how would Chicago hosting the Olympics affect the city’s restaurant and retail construction activity ? I do not anticipate new restaurateurs signing long-term leases for a two-week event.

It’s a mixed bag of commercial construction news for shopping center developement. Make sure the commercial construction team you hire not only has shopping center construction experience, but also retail and restaurant construction experience. You want a general commercial contractor who understands all parties’ needs.
