Crain's Chicago Business

Updated: Nov 4

Rory Rubin, a notable leader in sustainability, 2024













Rory Rubin

Founder and CEO S.I. Container Builds


Scope of work:

Rory Rubin oversees a team that produces affordable homes by repurposing shipping containers. The shortage of women in leadership, especially in the construction industry, led her to establish the firm offering an innovative solution to traditional building.


Biggest professional win:

Rubin established S.I. Container Builds at the end of 2018 to deliver resilient, eco-friendly structures resistant to natural disasters and embrace the use of single-use shipping containers, a growing environmental waste product, as versatile and strong building blocks.


Other contributions:

Rubin and S.I. Container Builds have been active in efforts to expand affordable housing initiatives in Chicago, Evanston and elsewhere, as well as expanding efforts to allow greater flexibility in additional dwelling units across the area.
