🏗️ Xquina Incubator and Café Construction Update 🏗️✨

The commercial kitchen is framed, café and kitchen bathrooms are ready, stairwells are set for steel installation, and the building is now weather-tight with a new roof in place. We’re also seeing movement on the storefront and incubator entrance, along with a finished café entry.

Each milestone gets us closer to opening doors for local entrepreneurs and creating a space the community can actually use and grow with.

More to come soon.

Project Update at Plant Chicago | Back of the Yards 🌱

Progress continues as we move further into the next phase of construction. Drywall and taping have now been completed, and FRP installation is fully finished throughout the space, including the exterior walls.

All rough electrical and plumbing work have been finalized, marking a major milestone in the project. In addition, a new water heater and water line have been successfully installed to support ongoing operations.

With these key elements in place, the project is well-positioned for the next stage as finishes and final details begin to take shape.

This past Friday, we joined partners and community leaders to celebrate the ribbon cutting for 10 newly completed homes in Roseland, part of the Reclaiming Chicago initiative alongside United Power for Action and Justice, Hope Center Foundation of Chicago, and Southwest Organizing Project.

It’s an honor to contribute to a project that strengthens neighborhoods and expands access to homeownership on Chicago’s Far South Side.

As the general contractor for these ground-up homes, we’re proud to have delivered them efficiently in collaboration with our sister company, Integrity Wall, for prefabrication allowing for more precise, faster assemblies that help speed up the overall construction process while minimizing errors.

Big things are happening in West Englewood 🚧
Earlier this week, Toro Construction proudly joined local leaders and partners for the groundbreaking of a transformative $22.5M, five-story affordable housing development at 63rd & Western.
Developed by Brinshore Development, LLC and the Southwest Organizing Project Southwest Organizing Project, this project will bring 44 modern apartments, 2,500 square feet of commercial space, and community-focused amenities to the neighborhood by Spring 2027.
We’ve officially kicked off Phase 1 with abatement and demolition alongside our trusted subcontractor, Taylor Excavating & Construction, Inc. — and we’re just getting started.

Excited to keep the momentum going and support this impactful development as it moves forward. Stay tuned for progress updates!

🚧We were proud to partner once again with Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT) to give students a hands-on look at a day in the life of our carpenters at Toro Construction.🚧

This week, students toured our single-family homes currently under construction, where they learned about job site safety, our building process, and had the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with our team. They also observed key phases of work including siding installation, closet doors, baseboards, and door moldings.

Programs like Women Build Illinois, a 10-week, 280-hour training initiative offered by CWIT, continue to open doors for individuals interested in construction careers. Much like our Technical Opportunities Program (TOP), it combines classroom learning with real-world experience, equipping participants with valuable industry credentials such as OSHA 10, First Aid/CPR, and MC3 TradesFutures certifications.

We’re committed to supporting workforce development and creating pathways into the trades. Looking forward to continuing this important work together.

This past Saturday, we proudly celebrated a major milestone in Back of the Yards with a ribbon cutting for two nearly completed homes in the Southside neighborhoods of Chicago.

Toro is currently working on finalizing finishes before they’re officially ready for new homeowners through The Resurrection Project and Precious Blood Ministry Of Reconciliation.

While we continue pushing forward to complete the remaining homes in this United Power for Action and Justice 40-home development, moments like this remind us why we do the work. It’s bigger than construction — it’s about strengthening communities, creating stability, and helping families build generational wealth.

Grateful to be part of a project that turns vacant lots into lasting opportunity. 🏡✨
