JPMorganChase office building celebrates ribbon cutting

JPMorganChase recently celebrated its ribbon cutting ceremony of its new three-story Winnetka office building at 791 Elm St in Winnetka. Located at the historic site of the North Shore’s first-ever bank, the building stands at the corner of Green Bay Rd and Elm St.

“This day is a milestone for our clients, employees, and the Winnetka community we’re proud to call home,” said Jaime Freeman, Head of North Shore for J.P. Morgan Private Bank. “For more than two decades, we've guided North Shore families and individuals through the sophisticated financial decisions that define and protect their legacies. This new space reflects that commitment to the North Shore, built to serve this community for generations to come.”

Doubling the square footage of the former site to 34,000 square feet across three floors, the building houses J.P. Morgan Private Bank’s new North Shore office and state-of-the-art Client Center, featuring artwork from local artists and thoughtfully designed meeting spaces. A new Chase retail branch and 32 mostly underground parking spaces are provided

Designed by Gensler, the building acts as a gateway to the village’s central business district. Its exterior architectural palette of limestone, brick, and glass reflects the pedestrian scale at the ground level while creating rhythm and depth on the upper levels. The design draws from traditional Art Deco precedents and thoughtfully considers the context and character of the surrounding neighborhood to integrate seamlessly into the community’s fabric.

The new Chase retail branch on the ground floor features a modern design and layout, supported by state-of-the-art banking technology. The branch features one interior ATM and one exterior ATM accessible after hours with a debit card. Floor two houses Private Bank offices and the top floor is a Client Center – dedicated space for hosting affluent clients and their families for personal wealth discussions, curated events, and meetings.

Developed by Riverside Investment & Development, the building broke ground in November of 2024. Skender served as the project’s general contractor.
