Wintrust Opens Newly Renovated 231 S. LaSalle Building
November 10 2015 - 4:07PM
Wintrust has officially completed the move into its new home, for
certain business units, at 231 S. LaSalle, in the heart of
Chicago’s financial district. The company’s long-term lease of the
main banking hall, multiple floors, retail space and primary
signage of the iconic building was announced in July of 2014. Since
that time, Wintrust has been working to restore the building,
particularly the Grand Banking Hall, to reveal the ornate
architectural detail and refined structure of the historic
building. Its first event in the newly re-opened space will be a
reception honoring World War II veterans and Holocaust survivors
Tuesday, November 10.

“We are excited to finally reveal the newly renovated building,”
said Wintrust CEO and President Ed Wehmer. “When we reached our
20-year anniversary, we knew we wanted to be Chicago’s bank, but
that’s hard to do without a prominent home in the city’s financial
district. This move lets the area know we are major players in this
market.”
Wintrust will use several floors of the building, which will now
be home to the Wintrust Commercial Banking and Wintrust Wealth
Management groups. With multiple business units using the new
space, it will serve as a more centralized focal point for
Wintrust’s downtown presence.
The Grand Banking Hall will serve as a venue for the company’s
functions as well as those hosted by Wintrust’s partner
organizations. The hall will be an expansion of the “community
room” concept practiced by Wintrust Community Banks, offering event
space to local philanthropic and partner organizations in need.
That practice is part of how Wintrust builds relationships with the
communities its banks serve and the same concept will apply at the
LaSalle Street building as well.
Wintrust is still in the process of replacing the stone signage
on the outside of the building, which will read “Wintrust Financial
Corporation.”
