CRG is excited to announce a partnership with Related Midwest to develop the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park (IQMP) in Chicago! This pioneering 128-acre quantum campus at 8080 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive marks the first phase of a broader 400-acre master plan on the historic South Works site. IQMP, anchored by PsiQuantum, will feature state-of-the-art cryo facilities, equipment labs, research, and office spaces, fostering collaboration between private companies and universities. This transformative project will position Chicago and Illinois as global leaders in quantum computing and microelectronics. The first phase, designed by Lamar Johnson Collaborative and constructed by Clayco, is scheduled for completion in 2027. Michael Fassnacht, Chief Growth Officer and President Chicagoland at Clayco, emphasized the project's significance, "Partnering with PsiQuantum is a tremendous opportunity, advancing quantum computing and positively impacting the greater Chicagoland area." We are proud to be part of this visionary project, driving economic growth and technological advancement in Chicago.

We’ve now round tripped 4 bldgs and 3.6M SF at the Cubes at Glendale. Incredibly proud of my CRG SW Region team on this one vs. the choppy market. Great reminder that 1) you always make your money on the buy, not the sell and 2) location and quality trump everything else!

We are pleased to share that Jennifer E. Nichols, CRG's Executive Vice President & General Counsel, has been recognized in the CRE Legal Counsel category in the ALM / GlobeSt.com Women of Influence 2024!

At CRG, we have set standards for development, design, quality and craftsmanship, efficient project management, cost containment, and worker safety. We’ve integrated the building process from head to tail and adopted new technologies that bring state-of-the-art design-build opportunities to clients and projects. Lamar Johnson Collaborative's ("LJC") use of Oasys MassMotion at our student housing development, The Standard at Columbia, is a prime example of how the latest technology can help maximize programming at new developments.

We’re doing great things with The Dean!

CRG wishes everyone a joyful and safe Independence Day filled with pride, unity, and gratitude. Let's honor the spirit of freedom and the values that make our nation great. Enjoy the festivities, stay safe, and have a wonderful holiday!

Students are gearing up for the 2024 academic school year, and our CRG team is excited to give them something else to enjoy on campus! Chapter at Madison is on track to open for the fall semester at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The 10-story student housing project will feature 534 beds with upscale finishes, including wood-style flooring, premium kitchen appliances, smart-entry systems, and many more epic amenities! The building was designed with student wellness and success in mind. Residents will have ample opportunities to connect and thrive socially on the rooftop terrace, fitness center, or gaming areas while still having enough space to focus on academics in private study spaces and conference rooms. As an art enthusiast myself, I’m proud of how Chapter at Madison fulfills CRG’s Art Mission by incorporating public art for the community by the community. A mural at the East Campus Mall entrance will showcase influential people and events from the neighborhood's past, and a cultural exhibit along the first-floor corridor on Regent Street will highlight the history of the 800 block and other significant milestones in Greenbush. This art will create an important bridge between the structure and the neighborhood while also preserving the rich stories and heritage of our communities, ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from the past. Huge S/O to Lamar Johnson Collaborative and Findorff for helping further establish modern campus living at the university. We are looking forward to bringing even more luxury student housing to Madison in the near future. 😉 Stay tuned for some first-look tours of the site soon!
