Construction is complete on 198 St. Nicholas Avenue, a four-story condominium building in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Designed by Melamed Architect and developed by AUM-NY, the project involved the repurposing of a former church and the construction of four new levels above, spanning 11,500 square feet and yielding six units. Sales have been finalized for all of the homes at the property, which is located at the corner of Harman Street and St. Nicholas Avenue.
The church’s brick façade was preserved and makes up the exterior of the first floor, paying homage to the history of the site, while modern ironwork and concrete walls spring from the site beyond ground level.

The building is split into two distinct wings, each with three units. All units have loft-style layouts, and floorplans include two two-bedroom garden duplexes, two two-bedroom apartments, and two three-bedroom penthouses with rooftop decks.
198 St. Nicholas Avenue is situated centrally in Bushwick, steps from stops for the B13 bus line and a four-minute walk from the DeKalb Avenue subway station, which services the L train. Beyond that, the Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues subway station, which services the M train, is a nine-minute walk from the property.

Love it.
In big different pieces with the existing, give an accent to attractive space viewed: Thanks.
Been walking by this project for years. It’s turned out really great. Just more proof historic buildings can and should be retained for new projects that aren’t like all the boring others.
Wow—superb!
Nick dimola loves the use of the old church in to the construction. Perseverance the old building history that’s the way to do it need more like it
Great use of classic structure combined with modern design and construction.
