Bed Stuy Garage Goes Residential
An abandoned parking garage that sold for $3,475,000 in 2007 is nearing the end of a renovation project that will result in the creation of 46 rental apartments. A reader who can see the project from the rear of her house sent in the photos along with the observation that “it looks like a lot…
An abandoned parking garage that sold for $3,475,000 in 2007 is nearing the end of a renovation project that will result in the creation of 46 rental apartments. A reader who can see the project from the rear of her house sent in the photos along with the observation that “it looks like a lot of track lighting, nice spiral staircases, etc.” Not sure if that’s good or bad but is sure is nice to see a beautiful old building like this getting recycled.

Get outta my head, ENY, heh heh.
Totally agree twice… “beautiful” is stretching it, but re-purposing quality old buildings like this is great. Oh, wait, agree three times, it’s is awesome that’s it a rental property and not $375k co-ops.
far better than tearing the bldng down and building something as stupid looking as the rest of the new garbage
I used to go by this place fairly regularly: when it was pretty decrepit, and I’m pretty sure the bricked up windows predate the conversion. THe posters are correct, it COULD have been done with more style and panache, but it was done, and it is an interesting (sort of) reuse of a space.
Hmmmm…..the windows don’t quite align, and to describe this building as “beautiful” is an insult to the word. Is this “Horror Show Friday” in disguise?
This is the sort of development that screams “GOOD IDEA”!
Agreed, cwb.
This qualifies as beautiful?
Only if you fetishize every old building in Brooklyn.
pretty sure the building goes through to Bedford in an L-shape
it’s nice to see an old building going rental for a change instead of straight to co-op condo.
