Church Conversion Underway on Bedford Avenue

Remember when the Evangelical Lutheran Church at 1006 Bedford Avenue in Bed Stuy was sold to a developer last year for $4,100,000? At the time, the developer’s plans were not public. We’d forgotten about the project until we rode past earlier this week and noticed the DOB permits posted on the front door of the church. Evidently the new owner, with the help of his trusty architect Karl Fischer, applied last year to convert the church to a residential use. To create desired 48 units of housing, they also applied to add on to the existing structure. The permit was granted in June of last year. There’s also a sign out front advertising retail space for rent. It’s hard to tell from the outside what stage of the project they are at at this point. Anyone know?
