Church conversions in New York City always seem to be an architectural roll of the dice, but YIMBY noticed this fairly attractive rendering on the fence at 81 Ten Eyck Street in East Williamsburg, where the former St Mary’s Catholic Church is being transformed into apartments.
Per The Real Deal, the Salvation Army has sold the development site spanning 176-180 Bedford Avenue, in northern Williamsburg, to Thor Equities for $36.1 million, which equates to $2,500 per square-foot. The site boasts 14,400 square feet of building potential, and undisclosed construction plans will almost surely include a large retail component.
A low-slung brick building at 555 Graham Avenue in Greenpoint is about to get a very unusual and glassy update, along with two extra floors of apartments.
Brownstoner stopped by recently at 247 Bedford Avenue, in Williamsburg, where a multi-level structure is being converted and expanded to accommodate its new retail tenant, Apple. Renderings of the project were revealed by YIMBY earlier this year, and opening is expected this year.
Windows are going in at Adam America’s 247 North 7th Street rental project in Williamsburg, where YIMBY found this rendering on the fence.
