North Shore Bank to Build New, State-of-the-Art Branch on Oakland Avenue in Shorewood

North Shore Bank today announced it will build a new, state-of-the-art bank office at 4060 N. Oakland Ave. in Shorewood, on the southeast corner of Oakland and East Kenmore Place. The new office will be just blocks from the bank’s two existing Oakland Avenue branches. Those offices will be consolidated with employees moving to the new location.

“The Village of Shorewood is North Shore Bank’s home,” said Dane Didier, manager of the bank’s Shorewood branches. “It’s where our bank was founded in 1923, and we are so proud to be an active and involved member of this terrific community. We’re excited to be launching our future here in Shorewood. This modern, technologically advanced branch will help meet our customers’ evolving needs while maintaining our significant presence in the Village’s central business district.”

The new branch is expected to feature an open concept lobby and cutting-edge technology like a drive-up remote teller machine, self-serve coin counter, interactive kiosk technology, video conferencing capabilities with product experts and more. The branch will be fully staffed with Concierge and Personal Bankers, a Branch Manager, and a Mortgage Loan Professional who will be on hand to help customers. The new technology and enhanced branch design will give customers more flexible options, including extended banking hours.

North Shore Bank is working closely with Village staff on plans for the branch, which will have a modern design that fits Shorewood’s central business district master plan. Subject to approval from the Shorewood Plan Commission and the Village Board, Didier said the bank anticipates breaking ground in 2017.

“This is a great development for North Shore Bank and the Village of Shorewood, and we’re pleased to be staying in the same, vibrant neighborhood with the talented employee team our customers have grown to know and rely on,” Didier said. “We look forward to working with the Village to make our plans a reality, and to welcoming everyone to our beautiful new branch.”

North Shore Bank’s current Shorewood branches are at 4414 N. Oakland and 3970 N. Oakland, both of which are less than a half-mile from the new location. History and heritage are very important to North Shore Bank and we have a long, proud history here in Shorewood, Didier said. The bank is an involved corporate citizen and supporter of a number of important civic groups, including those that celebrate the Village’s history, arts scene, business district, children and more.
