McHugh Construction has begun construction at Haidilao Hot Pot

RE Journals – James McHugh Construction Co. has begun construction of a 7,000-square-foot Haidilao Hot Pot restaurant at 107 E. Cermak Road, on the second floor of Hiltons at McCormick Place in Chicago’s South Loop neighborhood. Chicago-based Antunovich Associates is the project architect.

Haidilao has a great reputation internationally as a quality hot pot destination, and we’re excited to expand our relationship with them.”
