Facade work is well underway for a five-story mixed-use building at 1135 W Winona Street in Uptown. This edifice is part of a two-part development plan known as “The Draper 2.0” by Cedar St. Companies (the first Draper is another apartment building catty-corner across Broadway). Both buildings will stand five stories and featuring a combination of ground-level retail spaces and 180 residential units in total, comprised of 168 apartments and 12 townhomes.

As the most far-along component in The Draper 2.0, 1135 W Winona will come with a total 64 residential units along with a retail component. Still partially built up, the larger building, 1131 W Winona, is adjacently east and will accommodate the remaining 104 apartments, 12 townhomes, and additional amenities accessible to all residents.

The shared amenities will include a fitness center, an indoor resident lounge, and a rooftop deck. Both buildings will be connected via a fourth-floor skybridge for easier access to these common areas. Designed by Booth Hansen, each building is set to stand 65 feet, featuring a facade composed of floor-to-ceiling windows, aluminum composition, fiber cement, and metal rainscreen paneling.
Public transportation is close by, offering bus transit for Route 36 at the adjacent intersection of Broadway & Winona. Additional bus stops are accessible for Routes 92 and 146, which can be found just via a one-minute walk north to Foster & Broadway. For rail service, the CTA L Red Line is a three-minute walk southeast to Argyle station.

I wonder why this has been taking so long, considering how pre-fabricated it appears to be. Feels like it’s been under construction forever!
