Walsh Construction named general contractor for One Winnetka development
Winnetka, Illinois – Walsh Construction has been appointed as the general contractor for One Winnetka, a transformative mixed-use development set to revitalize a long-vacant site at the corner of Elm Street and Lincoln Avenue in downtown Winnetka, Illinois. The project is being led by a joint venture between Murphy Development Group and Christopher Merrill, with OKW Architects leading the design.
One Winnetka will feature 59 luxury rental apartments ranging from one-bedroom-plus-den to three-bedroom-plus-den configurations, with unit sizes between approximately 1,100 and 1,800 square feet. The four-story building will also include over 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, accommodating tenants such as Ballyhoo Hospitality and Charles Schwab, with additional leases in progress. The design incorporates a Tudor revivalist style with contemporary elements, including interior courtyards and mansard roofs, to complement the existing downtown architecture. The development will provide 152 parking spaces, comprising 39 at ground level for commercial use and 113 underground for residents.
Construction is underway, with completion anticipated by December 2026.
