Where everyday inspiration is found in the details.

Introducing a collection of architecturally unique residences in the heart of downtown Evanston. The units—each with their own distinctive character—celebrate the legacy of the Varsity Theater, one of the most spectacular movie palaces in the country.

The Varsity provides a graceful balance between old and new, featuring original exposed brick, tile, and trusses paired with modern finishes. Next to Bookman’s Alley and steps away from Lake Michigan, the Varsity is surrounded by retail, dining, and transit options just outside your door.
