The Embry
At 21 N May Street, The Embry stands as one of the most architecturally significant new developments in the West Loop. Completed in 2023, the 16-story building offers just 58 residences, blending boutique scale with modern design. With its Art Deco–inspired façade, expansive layouts, and interiors by Kara Mann, The Embry redefines luxury living in one of Chicago’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
Notably, this building has already seen strong success in the resale market — with multiple units closed by Mike Larson, including the highest-priced resale in the building to date.
Designed by Lamar Johnson Collaborative, The Embry combines modern lines with historic inspiration. Its brick and metal exterior pays homage to the West Loop’s industrial heritage, while oversized windows and terraces bring light and skyline views into each home.
The Embry condos for sale are crafted for scale and comfort, with layouts that live like single-family homes. Features include:
Expansive floor plans ranging from 2,000 to over 5,000 square feet
Private elevator access to select residences
Chef’s kitchens with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and custom cabinetry
Primary suites with spa-style baths, walk-in closets, and dressing rooms
Private terraces in many residences with skyline and neighborhood views
Despite its boutique scale, The Embry offers residents a thoughtful selection of amenities:
Double-height lobby with 24-hour door staff
Indoor-outdoor fitness center with yoga terrace and putting green
Owner’s lounge and entertainment spaces
Landscaped terrace with fire pits and lounge seating
Dog run and pet spa
Heated garage parking
