Two Trees Management’s PR machine is going into high gear in anticipation of the impending sales launch at 110 Livingston Street. (“Sales About to Start!” the latest press release reads.) The stately former Board of Ed building (shown here under construction last year) has had a four-story glass addition built atop the original McKim Mead and White design. Designed in 1926 as a clubhouse for the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the building is getting the requisite high-end makeover, complete with name-brand appliances and sigh-worthy bathrooms. Another bonus: On-site parking. The development will have 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, with the cheapest one starting at $400,000. One wonders whether Walentas will be able to match Magic Johnson’s asking prices of $1,200 a foot at One Hanson Place. Which do you think is a “better” location?
