More specifically, the smaller 1135 W Winona will be more prominently located at the corner of Winona & Broadway, and will house the retail component and 64 of the residences. Meanwhile, 1131 W Winona will border the CTA L tracks just to the east, and will be occupied by the remaining 104 apartments, 12 townhome residences, and amenities.
