Cannabis Facility Construction (CFC), a full-service cannabis design-build construction firm based in Northbrook, Ill., has begun construction on a new recreational and medical cannabis dispensary for Greenhouse. The project, which is located at 755 Skokie Boulevard in Northbrook, will be a national flagship location for the brand.
Comprising 10,000 sf, the wood and masonry structure will have a modern, industrial design that will represent a new look for the Greenhouse brand. The space will have an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, skylights and abundant natural light, and easy-to-browse product displays. The project was designed with social distancing in mind, ensuring all points of sale are six feet apart.

Retail space in the front of the building will be complemented by back office space for processing. A secure, oversized vault for substantial inventory storage and an advanced security system are also included. The facility’s exterior will feature natural landscaping, a retention pond, and a large parking lot, all revitalizing a location that has sat vacant for a long time.
Construction on the project, which will be Greenhouse’s largest dispensary to date, began in May.
