10 E DELAWARE — MARKET UPDATE 2025
10 E Delaware has always carved out its own space in the Gold Coast market. It isn’t pretending to be a glassy new-construction statement tower, and it doesn’t need to. What it offers is what buyers actually use every day: logical floorplans, walkability, quality finishes that show well a decade later, and a building that runs smoothly.
That formula hasn’t changed, and neither has the buyer pool. People come here because the building works — and they tend to stay until life pulls them somewhere else. That’s reflected in both turnover and pricing.
Below is a clear look at where the building stands heading into 2026.
CURRENT INVENTORY (AS OF DECEMBER 2025)
A range of practical, well-located options — from an approachable A-tier to one of the stronger high-floor offerings in the building.
| Unit | List Price | Beds | Baths | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20A | $799,000 | 1 | 1.1 | High floor, efficient footprint, strong entry point |
| 18E | $1,550,000 | 3 | 3.1 | E-tier, one of the most functional layouts in the building |
| 28E | $1,825,000 | 3 | 3.1 | Under contract; updated finishes, high-floor E-tier |
| 34A | $3,499,500 | 3 | 3.1 | High-floor A-line, rarely available, premium exposure |
Analysis:
Four listings is a healthy amount for this building — but not enough to feel like oversupply. The A- and E-lines remain the building’s most recognizable floorplans, and buyers know what they’re getting: space that lives well, storage that’s actually useful, and exposures that matter.
The high-floor 34A is the kind of listing that typically sets the tone for the upper end of the building.

| 29B | 3 | 3.1 | $1,744,000 |
| 33B | 3 | 3.1 | $2,100,000 |
Analysis:
This is a textbook 10 E Delaware year: solid, predictable activity without any major spikes.
Two clear patterns:
-
The C-line one-bedrooms continue to move because they make sense — great for in-town use, rental flexibility stays manageable, and the price point fits a wide range of buyers.
-
The B- and E-lines are doing what they always do: trading steadily and commanding the upper half of the building’s range. Three closings between $1.66M and $1.74M keep the middle of the building well-defined.
The standout is 33B at $2.1M, a reminder that buyers are still willing to pay for a high-floor, well-kept residence that doesn’t need immediate work.
MARKET NARRATIVE
FOR BUYERS
If you’re comparing buildings, the value proposition at 10 E Delaware is straightforward: you’re buying in a location that removes the need for daily driving, in a building that feels personal without being too small, and in floorplans that don’t play games.
You’re steps from Rush Street, Oak Street, the Mag Mile, and one of the most reliable parks in the area — Washington Square Park.
The takeaway: If you want function and proximity more than flash, this building deserves a serious look.
FOR SELLERS
There’s no trick here — the building performs when the unit shows well. Updated kitchens, lighter floors, fresh lighting, and clean paint all move the needle.
The E- and B-lines remain the strongest performers because they hit the sweet spot of size and layout. As long as the pricing starts within range, the right buyers show up.
And remember: buyers choosing 10 E Delaware like the building. They’re not here because they ran out of options elsewhere — they’re here because this is the scale and location they want.
FOR THE MARKET
This building sits in a comfortable middle lane: not competing with the ultra-luxury new builds, and not fighting with older, functionally obsolete layouts.
It appeals to people who prioritize practicality, neighborhood access, and floorplans that live the way people actually live. That’s why it avoids the big price swings you see in other buildings — it’s simply more stable.
OUTLOOK FOR 2026
Expect more of the same — in a good way.
-
One-bedrooms will continue moving as long as they’re priced cleanly.
-
The middle band ($1.2M–$1.8M) should stay active thanks to downsizers and in-town users.
-
High-floor A- and B-tiers will continue to draw buyers willing to pay for elevation and views.
-
Inventory should stay manageable, which keeps pricing stable.
10 E Delaware isn’t trying to reinvent itself — and that consistency is exactly why the building continues to perform year after year.
