R.D. Olson Contracted to Enhance McCormick & Schmick’s

 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada - R.D. Olson Construction has been contracted to expand the McCormick & Schmick's in Las Vegas, adding a 500-square-foot dining area to the popular upscale restaurant. The restaurant will remain in operation during construction, which is scheduled to begin in April.

After the Irvine, Calif.-based construction company finishes the majority of the work on the project, it will tear down an existing wall of the restaurant to reveal the addition.

"It will be an intricate operation, but we are experts at doing work that meets the needs of our clients,'' said Robert Olson, CEO and company president.

The dining room addition at the 335 Hughes Center Drive restaurant will blend with the existing décor of the establishment. It will feature rich wood paneling and large windows skirting the perimeter, giving it a light and airy feel.

"We believe the finished product will enhance an already superb restaurant,'' said Olson.

Construction of the $400,000 addition to the fine seafood establishment located approximately one mile from Las Vegas' famous strip of casinos and other nightlife should take about three months.

Aria Group Architects, Inc., based in Oak Park, Ill., provided the design work for the project.

Robert Olson founded R.D. Olson Construction in 1979. It has since grown into one of the largest general contracting companies in Orange County. It specializes in building hotels, restaurants and country clubs.

The company has built establishments for such clients as Morton’s Restaurant Group, Benihana, Houston’s Restaurant, Ra Sushi, and Lawry’s. Current projects include Union Station Village at Los Angeles Union Station; University Village Towers, Riverside; and a $50 million addition and renovation of the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa Resort, Ojai.
