Last Wednesday I joined a handful of other reporters in a top-to-bottom tour of Winthrop
Properties‘ new high-rise, the Winthrop Club, located at 1570 Elmwood Ave in Evanston.
We were greeted on the fifth-floor sundeck by Winthrop principals Bob Horner and
Ibrahim Shihadeh, who started off the walk-through with an overview of the tower’s
conception and construction.
Deliveries began at the 15-story, 96-unit high-rise this summer. The building is about 30
percent sold, with available one- to three-bedrooms ranging in price from the $290s to
$1.48 million.
The tower, designed by FitzGerald Associates Architects, is on track to earn LEED Gold
certification from the US Green Building Council. Check back later this week for a
discussion about the Winthrop Club’s green features, as well as more footage and photos
from inside the high-rise.
In the meantime, check out a lengthy writeup from the editor of the Chicago Architecture
Blog, who was also present for the media tour.
