Crane Construction Company LLC, established in the late 1940s by Morton J. Crane in Chicago, is a family-owned firm with over 76 years of experience in the construction industry. Throughout its history, the company has grown into a prominent player in high-rise residential construction and has expanded its portfolio to include multi-family residential buildings, large commercial offices, industrial developments, and hospitality projects across key cities such as Chicago, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Detroit.
Crane prides itself on its hands-on approach, ensuring that company principals are intimately involved with every project to maintain the highest levels of quality and client satisfaction. This philosophy fosters collaboration and reduces bureaucracy, allowing the company to be agile and innovative while meeting the unique needs of a diverse client base that includes some of the world's most iconic brands.
In the 1990s, under the leadership of Jeff Crane and his partners, the company refocused its efforts on team-oriented project execution, creating an environment that encouraged operational agility and enhanced client experiences. This strong foundation proved valuable during the leadership transition amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when new leaders Andrew Block, Ross Grande, and Warren Even steered the company through unprecedented challenges without layoffs, demonstrating resilience and adaptability.
Looking forward, Crane Construction aims to blend traditional craftsmanship with the innovative practices of the future. They are committed to professional development for their staff, mentorship, and aligning projects with the company’s core values, prioritizing growth through nurturing talent rather than merely seeking expansion. As they embrace new opportunities and foster the next generation of construction professionals, Crane Construction is poised to continue its legacy of excellence and integrity for many more decades.
