We thought that 397-401 East 8th Street (right) would be Sam Chang's triumphant return to the condo game back in 2007, when he purchased the site for $4.9 million. He planned to turn it into a six-and-a-half story residential condo, similar to his project at Avenue D and East 5th Street. Of course, things didn't quite work out that way?397-401 East 8th Street is still a vacant lot a few years later. But that could change! EV Grieve notices that the site is on the market again, at the slight markup of $5.2 million. And the site can accommodate an 11-story building, not just Sam Chang's smaller plan, according to the Eastern Consolidated folks marketing the property. "The neighborhood has become a very trendy enclave," claims the brokerbabble. Trendy enough to bring a successful condo project to Avenue D?
