The Project

Located in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, The Ritz Carlton Residences was an $8M contract that demanded precision and expertise. The 42-story building featured two levels of retail space, seven stories of parking, four levels dedicated to mechanical systems, an amenities floor, and 28 floors of luxury condominiums.


The Challenges

This project presented unique logistical hurdles. One of the primary tasks was installing a powerful 1,000 kW generator in a building with limited space. Additionally, we were tasked with installing exterior lighting on the 42nd and 21st floors, a complex job given the height and access restrictions. With the building’s location at the busy intersection of Michigan Ave. and Erie St., timely delivery and coordination of materials also posed significant challenges.


Shamrock’s Solution

Shamrock Electric’s team rose to the occasion, overcoming these obstacles and delivering a seamless result. Our ability to adapt and problem-solve ensured the project stayed on schedule and within budget, despite the logistical complexities.

Our scope of work included:

• Installing a 1,000 kW generator to ensure reliable power

• Exterior lighting installation at both the 42nd and 21st floors

• Vehicle elevator systems for parking decks

• Integration of fire alarm and access control systems for enhanced safety

• Post-construction buildouts of condominium units to luxury standards

Through careful planning, teamwork, and technical expertise, we ensured that The Ritz Carlton Residences project was not only completed to the highest standard but also met the client’s timeline and budget expectations.
