KANKAKEE, ILL. — CSL, a global pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Melbourne, Australia, has broken ground on a $1.5 billion expansion of its campus in Kankakee, roughly 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The company has operated at the site since purchasing the former Armour Pharmaceutical Co. plant in 2004, according to multiple media outlets. CSL is developing a new 330,000-square-foot facility at the site that will generate 300 permanent jobs and 800 construction jobs, in addition to the 1,200 existing positions at the plant. The new investment builds on the $3 billion that CSL has invested in the United States since 2018, which has created more than 6,500 American jobs. “Illinois is leading the way in life sciences manufacturing, and CSL’s $1.5 billion investment is a powerful vote of confidence in our state,” said Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in a statement. “CSL’s continued growth in Kankakee County builds on decades of innovation and manufacturing leadership right here in Illinois. We’re proud to partner with CSL as they expand their footprint and deepen their commitment to communities across our state.” The Kankakee campus is expected to supply 100 percent of the U.S. demand for immunoglobulin therapies (i.e., plasma-derived antibodies treatments), according to CSL. …
By Taylor Williams DALLAS — Costs are always a sensitive subject in all types of residential and commercial development. But with projects that draw heavily on alternative and public-sector sources of financing to pencil out — namely affordable housing — the margin for error on cost overruns is even tighter. That’s a very unfortunate reality for developers working to mitigate America’s profound shortage of both affordable housing and housing that’s affordable. But with measured, deliberate upfront planning and collaboration between architects, engineers and general contractors, some of that risk can be mitigated.

To keep these critical developments on time and on budget, these project partners have had to not only adjust some of their traditional forms of value engineering (VE) — the term given to the collective effort of cost minimization and utility maximization over the course of a project — but also embrace completely new ones. The framework for trying new types of VE hinges on the notion that the whole of the project is greater than the sum of the …
