Here’s another quick recap/overview of the 80 projects we’ve highlighted so far in our Centennial Year countdown of our Top 100 projects – today we highlight projects 40 through 21.

Once again the incredible diversity of project type and location is on display in these 20 projects – ranging from the first new runway at O’Hare International Airport in over 30 years (#40 – Runway 9L-27R) to Poland’s first western-style high-rise office building (#26 – Warsaw Financial Center) to AIA National Honor Award winner (#34 – Serta International Center) to a beloved piece of urban infrastructure (#39 – Riverview Bridge). Additionally, two of most recent award-winning food processing facilities appear in these 20 projects (#23 – Seaboard Triumph Foods & # 21 – Prestage Foods of Iowa).

In addition, two projects that have had the most direct impact on the day-to-day lives of Epsteiners since the 1940’s are on this list - our former Chicago headquarters at 2011 Pershing Road (#31) and our current HQ at 600 West Fulton (#32).
