The now-greenlit 1135 W Winona Street will house a mix of retail and 64 apartment units on its upper floors. While the second building at 1131 S Winona Street has not yet received permits, both were approved by the Chicago Plan Commission late last December. This larger building will be solely residential, with 104 standard-layout apartments and 12 townhomes. These integrated duplex townhouses will provide ground-level outdoor access, while a portion will also come with private outdoor terrace spaces.

The majority of the development’s shared amenities will be housed within the second building. The first floor will offer a fitness center, as well as a fifth-floor rooftop terrace and indoor lounge. Residents will be able to easily navigate between buildings either via the alley or a fourth-floor skybridge.

Booth Hansen is the architect for both of the 65-foot structures, whose facades are made up of a mix of aluminum composite panels, fiber cement, and metal panel rain-screen panels. The skybridge component, meanwhile, will be enveloped in an aluminum window wall system.

Bus service can be found at the adjacent intersection of Broadway & Winona, with northbound stops for Route 36. A minute’s walk north is the Foster & Broadway intersection, with additional bus service for Route 92 and 146. For those looking to board the CTA L Red Line, Argyle station is available via a three-minute walk southeast.

The current development comes as Cedar St. Companies wraps up a neighboring adaptive reuse and construction project known as The Draper. Both are part of a single master plan to redevelop nearly two whole blocks along the Uptown Broadway corridor.
