The new 7,500 SF facility will be the new home of the Industrial Council of Nearwest Chicago (ICNC). ICNC represents the interests of companies located within the Kinzie Corridor of Chicago and assists in strengthening businesses by providing information and links to public and private resources and services. ICNC also owns and manages the Fulton-Carroll Center Incubator, a 410,000 square-foot facility which provides space and business development assistance to over 100 small companies.

Synergy Construction Group is serving as the design-build general contractor and Fitzgerald Associates as the architect. The project will be completed in late summer 2010.

The $19 Million project is part of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services Supportive Living Program as a way to increase choices for seniors in need of long-term care. The aim of the program is to preserve privacy and autonomy while emphasizing health and wellness for elderly persons who would otherwise need nursing facility care.

Synergy Construction Group is assisting Oasis Senior Living Management with pre-construction activities and will be the general contractor for the project that is scheduled to break ground in March 2011.
