Constructing Chicago’s Skyline with Michael Meagher, President of McHugh Construction

On this episode of Real Estate for Breakfast, host Phil Coover is joined by President of James McHugh Construction Company Michael Meagher. Many of the buildings that make up the Chicago skyline were constructed by McHugh, including the Vista Tower, which is now the third tallest building in Chicago. Phil and Mike discuss what it was like to build the Vista Tower during the pandemic and how COVID-19 has impacted the construction industry, from material shortages and labor challenges to enhanced safety protocols. In addition, they discuss the 100 Club of Chicago, which provides much needed immediate relief and support to the families of deceased first responders.
