An Architect’s Tour Of The West Loop’s Hottest Condo Building

Crain’s Chicago Business



Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC) recently hosted Crain’s Chicago Business on a private tour of Embry to show why the LJC-designed condominium building was 80% pre-sold prior to opening. 


When the TJ team recently toured Embry, the new condominium development designed by Taylor Johnson client Lamar Johnson Collaborative (LJC), we could easily see why the building was more than 80% sold by the time it started delivering units.
