It’s unknown whether the apartments will be condominiums or rentals, and if the building will have an affordable component. A representative of L+M wasn’t immediately available to comment.

L+M formed a partnership with Joe and Rachelle Friedman, the founders of J&R Music and Computer World, in 2014, to redevelop 23 and 31 Park Row. The Friedmans contributed the two properties to the partnership, valuing them at $15.5 million and $36.2 million respectively. The developer paid $21 million to investor Philip Hymowitz for 29 Park Row in May 2015.

The developer demolished those three buildings earlier this year.

Correction: A previous version of this story stated that L+M bought 23 and 31 Park Row from the Friedmans. The two parties actually formed a joint venture.
