McHugh Launches Renovation of Bridgeport’s Ramova Theater
McHugh Construction launched the historic renovation of Chicago’s Ramova Theater, a 36,000-square-foot project that includes restoring the theater and building out adjacent space for a new brewery and restaurant at 3510-3520 S. Halsted St. Originally built in 1929, the Ramova Theater in the South Side’s Bridgeport neighborhood has been vacant since 1985.
In August, McHugh began selective demolition and investigation of existing conditions in the building, which will once again be a community anchor for the Bridgeport neighborhood following completion of construction in late 2022. It will include a 1,600-seat auditorium at ground level and a separate balcony-level theater.
“We’re honored that the public-private partnership of the city of Chicago and co-developers Our Revival Chicago and Baum Revision have entrusted us to restore and reconstruct this historic theater to its former glory,” said Andy Totten, McHugh Construction VP and project executive. “The development will attract cultural enthusiasts near and far.”
