About the Developers

Driven by a deep affection for the Chicago area and backed by years of experience in real estate development and residential construction, the principals of Winthrop Properties offer a combination of commitment and capabilities that is unparalleled in the city today.

Ibrahim Shihadeh is the founder and owner of Creative Designs, a highly respected construction firm specializing in rehabilitation and major additions to city and North Shore homes, including sensitive renovations of several historically significant buildings. Bob Horner worked in top executive roles with Pulte Homes, Citicorp Mortgage and Sears Mortgage before striking out on his own to develop and market a variety of projects throughout the Chicago area.

Together, they have partnered in the development of many highly successful residential properties throughout Chicagoland including the Evanston Galleria, and have now begun work on what promises to be the premier condominium property downtown Evanston has seen to date: Winthrop Club; where green living meets ultimate luxury.
