State Bank of the Lakes

The Wintrust State Bank of the Lakes Kenosha Branch is envisioned as a bold catalyst for revitalization west of downtown Kenosha, breathing new life into an area long marked by the closure of the Chrysler engine plant. Rooted in the spirit of the larger KIN development, the project embraces an innovative vision, re-establishes a strong gateway presence, and uplifts neighborhood identity. Shaped to be a distinctive and transformative addition to the built environment, this branch reflects and celebrates the unique character of its surrounding context. Acting as both a community landmark and anchor, it marks significant reinvestment in the area’s existing fabric, transforming a once underutilized site into a vibrant, welcoming, and aspirational community hub.
