It’s often a good thing to be the first in Chicago real estate, and Winthrop Club Condomiums is aiming for that unique distinction.
Nearing completion as of July, 2009, Winthrop Club in Evanston, Illinois is designed to be Chicagoland’s very first Gold LEED Certified Condominium accredited by the U.S. Green Building Council.
What’s LEED?
According to the Council, “LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across all the metrics that matter most: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.”
The eco-friendly features of Winthrop Club Condominiums include:
- Energy efficient mechanical systems
- Insulated glass with low-e coating
- High-quality building insulation
- Superior standards for indoor air quality
- High-quality plumbing fixtures that conserve water and reduce bills
- Water-conservative landscaping that uses rainwater collected on site
- Green roof system to reduce heat absorption

Winthrop Club is around the corner from the Davis Street Market area; within a block of access to Metra commuter trains, CTA rapid transit trains and CTA bus service; and just a short distance from Northwestern University, Lake Michigan and public beaches. The developer, Winthrop Properties LLC, also points out that Winthrop Club Condominiums are within walking distance to 70 restaurants.
