“I have worked with all different types of contractors throughout my career and O’Malley ranks right up there at the top. The level of communication, their attention to detail and their team approach puts them ahead of their competition.”
“It is a privilege to be able to write a letter of recommendation, highlighting the excellent services of the guys at O’Malley Construction. My company has contracted with O’Malley Construction over the past seven years to handle five different projects ranging from a 26,000 sq. ft. raw green space build-out to an 18,000 sq. ft. upgrade of an existing facility. Every project we have engaged in with the O’Malley team has been completed at or below their proposed budget and well within the construction time frames that had been promised. Through O’Malley we have had the experience of working with several different crews and subcontractors and all have been professional, courteous and produced high quality work.
Amata Office Centers will continue to rely on the expertise of the O’Malley team on future construction projects and would highly recommend anyone to give them the opportunity to work on future projects.”
“I know that things are going to get done right. I don’t always get that from other GCs. I give O’Malley a project and I can sleep at night.”
“O’Malley is good people. They’re always willing to pick up the extra pieces. They’re loyal, understanding, and accommodating.”

Partnering with Shorecrest Project Management Group and Tishman Speyer, O’Malley Construction has completed 18,000sf and counting of office renovations and tenant improvements at The Franklin as Chicago reopens its doors.
On the heels of employees returning to offices and companies seeking out new spaces, the demand for high-quality office renovations has soared. Workers want to return to fresh and airy spaces, light color palettes, glass-enclosed private offices, and renovated kitchens and baths. Windows and views, along with access to green space and gyms, top the chart for demand as well. The Franklin’s Suite 3752, O’Malley’s latest project with Shorecrest and Tishman Speyer, is a prime example of what draws an employee back into an office after a year of comfort working from home.
This 4,427sf spec suite features private offices, open space for workstations, one large conference room and a full-amenity kitchen. It was completed during normal business hours with special attention to safety, social distancing, noise and dust mitigation, and cleanliness as the effects of COVID-19 continue to create unique challenges for our industry. Lead time issues on finish materials, project staffing concerns, health and safety monitoring, among others, have been industry-wide hurdles that the collaborative project team was able to overcome thanks to longstanding working relationships and an open line of communication.
O’Malley Construction has successfully completed various office build outs and capital improvement projects throughout Chicago for Shorecrest Property Management and Tishman Speyer.

Welcome to O’Malley Construction’s latest spec suite chock-full of creative finishes from the esteemed architectural firm, Eastlake Studio. The 23rd floor at 205 Michigan, managed by MBRE, features multiple glass-enclosed private offices, conference rooms with Lake Michigan views, three high-end kitchens, and an abundance of open office space. Not an ounce of detail was spared from the 12-foot maple doors and custom-designed wood dividers to the luxury light fixtures, turf ceiling, wall detailing, and mirrored closet doors in the reception space.
This work was completed during normal business hours with special attention to safety, social distancing, noise and dust mitigation, and cleanliness. Our onsite superintendent worked closely with the facilities representative to ensure safety standards were upheld. Our project manager kept an open line of communication with the building owner in order to finish on time and under budget.

“Given the success we’ve had with O’Malley on past build outs, I knew they were the team to use when retrofitting our space for re-entry. They provided creative solutions across our portfolio that fit the needs of our clients and property managers.”
– Ron Bockstahler, CEO of Amata
Since the onset of COVID-19, O’Malley Construction has been working tirelessly with long-time client Amata Law Office Suites to install protective measures at their offices. These measures include:
- Glass sneeze shields at Amata reception desks, cubicles and secretary workstations.
- New motion sensor capabilities at bathroom, floor and corridor entrance doors throughout the office at Amata locations. All doors will also be programmed so that existing key cards will activate them to open for additional no-touch operation.
Amata Law Office Suites is the only shared office space provider in Chicago that caters specifically to legal practitioners and law firms. These changes have allowed them to stay open and provide a safer working environment during Illinois’ shelter-in-place.
In addition to these changes, O’Malley Construction has successfully completed more than 250,000sf of office renovations for Amata.
