Mariano’s Fresh Market, the Illinois flagship of Wisconsin-based Roundy’s Supermarkets, has expanded in Chicago. Power, alongside our JV partner, completed the construction of a 60,000 sf, three-story grocery store featuring a surface parking lot and a 41,000 sf, two-story parking deck above the store, providing 290 spaces. The store offers a range of premium amenities, including a coffee bar, sandwich shop, on-site sushi chef, Italian oven-baked pizzas, organic produce, and custom-cut fresh fish and meats.
The building’s foundation consists of driven piles and grade beams supporting the precast structure. The exterior showcases a cladding system with architectural precast concrete panels and brick finishes. In the food processing area, a urethane floor was installed, while the rest of the store features durable stained concrete.
Incorporating the Community, Exceeding Minority Participation Expectations
During construction, our project team exceeded the minority and women-owned participation goals by 6% with over half the project hours completed by community residents. This project provided 400-500 permanent jobs to the area, including 20 manager positions.
