All units feature condo-quality finishes, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and nine and a half foot ceilings, while select apartments have private terraces or balconies.

The Residences of Wilmette is loaded with amenities, including a 6,800 SF outdoor space on the second floor with a communal fire pit and multiple grilling stations, a steam room with color therapy technology, a sauna and hot tub, and a pet spa with grooming station, a hydraulic lift and oversized bath for larger pets. The development also includes 6,200 SF of street-level retail.
