Graycor Construction completed fast-track construction of Canadian National (CN) Railway Company’s new administrative offices in south suburban Homewood. The 55,000-square-foot building consolidated the railway’s Midwest and Gulf Division offices.

Work included completion of core-and-shell and interior construction in a seven-month timeframe.

The project marks a new chapter in Graycor’s work involving the railroad. In 1926, Graycor removed a section of retaining wall along the railroad tracks belonging to CN-predecessor, Illinois Central Railroad, on the east side of Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Completed in a driving snowstorm without interrupting train traffic, the project helped establish Graycor’s reputation for rising to a challenge and inspired the company’s slogan, Wanted: A Hard Job.
