Cladding work has begun for Embry, a 15-story condominium development located at 21 N May Street in West Loop. This new 207-foot-tall residential project will be built on the site of an old, vacant lot that was once home to a smaller two-story masonry structure. The development is being planned by Sulo Development and will contain 58 units for sale.
