ROLE Construction Manager
When building their first location outside of Texas in 2013, Perry’s Restaurants entrusted ICI. The 11,000 square foot build-out on the ground floor of Neiman Marcus in Oak Brook Shopping Center in Oak Brook, Illinois was a success. Perry’s then opened their second location in Illinois (this time in Schaumburg) and once again selected ICI as their construction manager. The 12,000 square foot restaurant opened in October 2020 and offers seating for 330 diners, four private dining rooms and a bar attached to a spacious patio. In 2021, ICI was then retained as Perry’s construction manager for concurrent renovations to five restaurants in three states.
Presently, ICI is contracted for new construction Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille locations in Richmond, Virginia and Vernon Hills, Illinois; as well as the restaurant group’s Carve and Verdad concepts in Austin, Texas.
