Here’s what our brokers have to say about EMME: 

Sean Holland: From the color scheme in the hallways to the gentle apartment aesthetics and the rooftop garden, the building is all about zen. There’s a lot of Chicago history related to the building site as well which gives it an extra dimension that other buildings don’t have.

Travis Smith: What I am most excited for in EMME are the amenities. There is something for everyone! The building has a few different floors of community spaces. The rooftop has an outdoor pool and fitness center that overlook the city. The 3rd floor has some pretty unique features. There is an urban garden, outdoor terrace, demonstration kitchen and a couple of workstations. On top of all of these, the building being pet-friendly and has an indoor/outdoor dog run along with a wash station. EMME is going to be a great addition to the West Loop!

Jill Scott: Location, location, location. It’s no secret the West Loop is booming, and EMME is the perfect addition to the trendy neighborhood.

Tristen Heimann:  EMME is Gerding Edlen’s third building in Chicago. EMME balances contemporary progressive design with the cozy feeling of home.

Sam Kahn: Emme is the third Chicago building by the amazing developers Gerding Edlen. It brings amazing, high-end, luxury living to the West Loop at an affordable price. The units are all sleek/contemporary and is just steps from the desirable Randolph street.

Darrell Scott: EMME is a brand new building that has great natural daylight, well-lit hallways. There is a great use of space in the floor plans with an architecturally impressive lobby space. This features a glass skywalk, great use of materials and a beautiful piece of artwork imitating the sun.
