Horizon Construction Team LLC is a leading Chicago retail construction company that specializes in building shopping plazas, strip malls, restaurants, cafés, retail shops, and commercial offices. Founded by Hosam “Sam” Bader, we bring more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience across Chicagoland.
Sam’s background is what makes Horizon Construction unique. Since 2007, he has served as Project Engineer, Builder, and Owner, personally overseeing projects from design to delivery. In addition, Sam has spent more than 30 years as the Managing Broker and Owner of Horizon Realty Brokers, Inc., where he specializes in commercial real estate across Chicago.
