Cannabis Facility Construction, a national industry leader in full-service cannabis facility design-build, started construction a new dispensary at 755 Skokie Boulevard in Northbrook.

Greenhouse will operate the recreational and medical dispensary and will be the flagship location for the brand.

The new building will offer nearly 10,000 square feet of finished space.

Greenhouse is Chicagoland’s leading medical cannabis dispensary with three locations: Deerfield, Mokena, and Morris.

“CFC has delivered multiple dispensaries for Greenhouse over the past five years in various states across the country,” said Andy Poticha, Principal at Cannabis Facility Construction. “We are now especially excited to have this opportunity to build their largest flagship location right here in our own backyard.”

Construction commenced in May, at a site and its surrounding area that had been vacant for quite some time.

According to CFC, “the location’s sleek, modern, industrial design will represent a new look for the Greenhouse brand. An open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings, skylights, abundant natural light, and easy-to-browse product displays will complement the wood and masonry structure. To create a differentiated and welcoming customer experience, careful consideration has been given to both customer traffic flow and the reality of social distancing. The design ensures all points of sale are six feet apart so transactions take place with proper social distancing in mind and create a sense of ease. In addition to the retail space up front, there will also be back office space for processing, a secure, oversized vault for substantial inventory storage, and a highly advanced security system throughout. CFC’s work complements exterior infrastructure improvements happening simultaneously to revitalize the surrounding area with the addition of natural landscaping, a retention pond, large parking lot, and new turn lane from Skokie Boulevard.”

Since 2015, CFC has built more than 30 cultivation centers, processing laboratories and retail dispensaries customized for the needs of medical and recreational cannabis clients in nine different states.

CFC, a division of Mosaic Construction, has built and are in-process on 27 cultivation facilities, processing centers, and dispensary projects totaling more than 307,802 square feet throughout eight states.
