RITZY CONDO COMPLEX COMING TO DOWNTOWN....
"As with One Vendue Range, the plan at Concord Park is to build 49 pricey condos -- expected to sell for just under $800 a square foot -- on property near the water, adjacent to a city park.
The main difference is that the condos at Concord Park would share a building with a 70-room hotel, restaurant, spa and other businesses.
That means someone living in one of the condos could pay for housekeeping, order room service, or have someone collect their dry cleaning. That's the "on steroids" part.
"We really believe that the market is there," said Seinsheimer, of Johns Island-based Dolphin Architects & Builders. He said the hotel is expected to be of four-star quality."
