EMBRY — 21 N MAY | MARKET UPDATE 2025
A complete look at closed sales, market performance, and future resale opportunities at 21 N May
Embry, located at 21 N May Street in the West Loop, has become one of the city’s most design-driven luxury boutique buildings. With only 58 residences and a focus on craftsmanship, privacy, and architectural detail, Embry sold out quicker than most recent luxury developments — and it remains one of the most closely watched addresses in the neighborhood.
The building is currently fully sold out, with no active listings on the market. A potential resale is expected to surface in early 2026, marking one of the first post-delivery opportunities for new buyers.
Below is a complete breakdown of all sales recorded at Embry, including pricing, layout types, and resale activity.
CURRENT INVENTORY (AS OF NOVEMBER 2025)
There are no active listings at Embry at this time.
The building is entirely sold out, and all 2025 activity is resale-driven. A single residence may be returning to market in early 2026, representing one of the first resale opportunities since sell-out.
Note: I completed three sales within Embry — a level of familiarity that provides a clear understanding of the building’s floorplans, buyer pool, and positioning.

MARKET NARRATIVE
For Buyers
Embry is effectively closed to new inventory — everything now shifts to resale-only.
The building’s design quality, boutique feel, and craftsmanship have created a buyer pool that tends to hold long-term. The next opportunity may not come until early 2026, and even then will likely draw significant interest.
For Sellers
Values have shown stability and appreciation across nearly all tiers.
Resales appear in the data (noted above), and those units generally commanded strong pricing due to limited supply and high demand from West Loop buyers seeking boutique luxury.
For the Market
Embry has proven to be one of the strongest-performing luxury mid-rise projects in the West Loop.
It appeals to design-conscious buyers who want privacy, architectural detail, and a more understated luxury experience than what’s offered in taller, amenity-heavy towers.
WHY EMBRY STANDS OUT
Embry’s appeal comes from a combination of architecture, intimacy, and execution. The building feels quiet and intentional — a contrast to the large, glass-heavy towers nearby. Interiors have weight, proportion, and texture, and the floorplans read like real homes rather than simplified condo layouts.
May Street brings a calm, tree-lined energy that’s rare for the neighborhood, and the building’s scale gives it a sense of privacy that larger developments can’t replicate.
It’s a building buyers tend to stay in — and the sales history shows that clearly.
OUTLOOK FOR 2026
With the building sold out and only a limited number of early resales expected, Embry enters 2026 in a position of strength:
-
Minimal turnover
-
Strong demand from both locals and out-of-state buyers
-
Stable pricing across all unit sizes
-
Continued scarcity in 3BR+ inventory
-
Design-forward product that ages well
Expect the building to remain one of the West Loop’s most coveted addresses.
