Toro Construction Corp.

🏗 Xquina Cafe & Incubator Construction Update 🏗 We were thrilled to host the Foundation of Little Village board members at the Xquina Cafe & Incubator site. Their visit allowed them to witness firsthand the latest advancements. Our team has diligently navigated several unforeseen conditions related to the historic nature of the building, which have posed challenges to its structure. Despite these hurdles, we’re proud to report that we’ve made significant strides and are on track to continue progressing. Slate Demolition LLC: The concrete slabs between the 3-story building have been successfully demoed, clearing the way for new construction. Gallagher Concrete: Foundation walls are currently being prepared for the installation of new piers, and form work has begun to shape the future structure. Chi-Town Plumbing: Set the sanitary outlet for Casa Huitzil (Future commercial kitchen program), ensuring our plumbing infrastructure is on track. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚧 #Construction #CommunityBuilding #LittleVillage #XquinaIncubatorCafe
