72 Poplar Street

Copy Link

This Brooklyn Heights building's former life was as a police station, and it should hit the market any day now. Apartments will be priced between $1.595 million and $5.75 million (and will start at 1,424 square feet in size). Move-ins should begin next year.

991 Eastern Parkway

Copy Link

Brooklyn Capital and architects Isaac & Stern have teamed up for a couple of Brooklyn church conversion projects, including this one at 991 Eastern Parkway. Their plans call for a brick and glass addition to the existing light brown church facade, and those words all sound too mild to describe the actual plans for the structure.

Alhambra Theater

Copy Link

The Alhambra Theater, built in 1914, hosted everything from vaudeville shows to film screenings before becoming a supermarket and, later, a school. An application to convert the now-vacant building into a 24-unit apartment building is pending with the DOB. The building has already lost its loveliest ornamentation.

1255 Bushwick Avenue

Copy Link

Speaking of the Brooklyn Capital-Isaac & Stern partnership and its condo conversion aspirations, the team also has big plans for 1255 Bushwick Avenue. The developers bought the church for $1.95 million in June and will create 32 condos out of it thanks to a large, glassy addition.

81 Ten Eyck

Copy Link

This church of many addresses (it also goes by 74 Maujer Street, 183-187 Leonard Street, 69-71 Ten Eyck Street, and several other identities) is being converted to residential space. The existing structure will be partially demolished to make that happen, and the finished conversion will have 40 apartments, roof terraces, and bike parking.

364 Union

Copy Link

Sales launched in late August for 364 Union Street, a townhouse turned into four 3BRs and one 2BR duplex with outdoor space. Prices started at $1.565 million.

177 Montague

Copy Link

The 1913 landmarked bank building at 177 Montague Street will soon re-emerge as 12 condo units that are aiming for a historical, simultaneously loft- and townhouse-like feel. The building will have a lounge, teen room, playroom, music practice space, pet spa, and roof terrace.

St. Vincent De Paul Church

Copy Link

The rectory of St. Vincent de Paul Church has already been turned into rentals, and now the church itself is following in the rectory's footsteps. The church will be turned into 92 condo units and 40 parking spaces, according to DOB permits spotted by Brownstoner. The 1869 church closed in 2005, when the Brooklyn Diocese ran out of funds to keep it open. Photo via Brownstoner.

396 15th Street

Copy Link

The former factory at 396 15th Street has survived quite a saga to get where it is today. The South Slope property has finally been renovated—eight years after its neighbor's excavation shifted the building's foundation and cracked the structure—and gotten a two-story addition. As of September, the owners had applied for a certificate of occupancy, so all that's left are the listings for the new units.
