IMMEDIATE RELEASE ---- SEPTEMBER 19, 2025


Chicago, IL— Out of 315 nominees, S.I. Container Builds of Buffalo Grove, IL has been selected as one of the Top 100 Finalists still in the running for the 24th annual Chicago Innovation Awards.  The awards celebrate the most innovative new products and services in the Chicago region across all organization sizes, sectors and industries.  Over 700 business and civic leaders will come together to honor the winners when they are announced on November 13th at the UIC Forum.


S.I. Container Builds is transforming the Chicagoland area [ie the iconic Navy Pier Marina] with innovation, vision, and heart. From repurposed shipping containers to powerful community impact, our mission isn’t just about building structures — it’s about creating legacies.
