Last month, North Shore Bank announced plans to build a new, state-of-the-art branch in Shorewood, as well as plans for a new, full-service branch near Jackson Park.

The new Shorewood office will consolidate our current Shorewood and East branches, both of which are less than a half mile from the new site on Oakland Avenue. It will feature an open-concept lobby and cutting-edge technology like a drive-up remote teller machine, a self-serve coin counter, interactive kiosk technology, and videoconferencing capabilities with product experts. Its modern design will fit the Village of Shorewood’s central business district master plan. Plans are to break ground in 2017.

The new building near Jackson Park will replace the current office there and open to the public next spring. The branch will feature a fully updated design concept, new technology, and more convenient options for customers, including a drive-thru and a financial literacy area for children and families. During construction, customers can use a temporary banking facility adjacent to the current office location.
