For the latter, Dee Oh Bee sez: plans for a 34 floor, 378 ft tower with 480 units disapproved in October 2001. Probably a good thing given it was by Costas Kondylis. The most recent permit is for demo approved more than a year ago.

LCOR and the California State Teachers' Retirement System have completed their $73 million purchase of the vacant 225 E. 34th St., where they will develop a 170,000-foot, 21-story, 171-unit condominium.

The total land costs — including the site, air rights and housing — hit $350 a foot.

The building will be called The Charleston after the late Charles Benenson, whose family company, Benenson Capital Partners, sold the property through a Cushman & Wakefield team.

According to LCOR's David Sigman, when the project is ready in 2007, the unit marketing will be handled by Prudential Douglas Elliman's Development Marketing Group, led by Andy Gerringer.
