Kehoe Designs Begins Construction on Geraghty North, Opening January 2027

Aug 4, 2026 | 0 comments

Kehoe Designs is expanding its footprint with the highly anticipated Geraghty North, a new luxury event venue in Oak Brook, Illinois. Krusinski Construction officially began on the demolition in June 2026 on the future home of the company’s second event venue, which is expected to open in 2027.

The original The Geraghty, located in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, has become one of the city’s premier venues for weddings, corporate events, galas, and special occasions. Geraghty North will bring that same elevated event experience to the western suburbs, providing planners with a sophisticated new option in Oak Brook.

The new venue will feature nearly 26,000 square feet of event space on just under five acres and will accommodate up to 600 guests. Designed with flexibility in mind, Geraghty North will offer immersive environments for weddings, corporate meetings, conferences, social celebrations, and experiential events.

To make way for the new venue, an existing three-story, 100,000-square-foot office building is being demolished and replaced with a purpose-built, one-story event facility designed specifically for large-scale gatherings and customized experiences.

For more than 30 years, Kehoe Designs has been recognized as one of the country’s leading event design and production companies. Founded by Tom Kehoe, the Chicago-based company has grown from a local event décor business into a nationally recognized, full-service production firm serving corporate events, conferences, trade shows, experiential activations, weddings, galas, and private celebrations.

With an in-house team of designers, artisans, and production professionals, Kehoe Designs creates customized environments that transform spaces into memorable experiences. The company’s family of brands includes Kehoe Designs, BlackOak Technical Productions, Floral Exhibits, The Geraghty, and the upcoming Geraghty North, further expanding its presence in the Chicago meetings and events industry.
