United Order of Tents Rentals Hit the Market

The new five-story rental building that’s risen on former United Order of Tents property in Bed Stuy began leasing a few weeks ago with studios starting at $2,000 a month. The 28-unit development at 196 Macon Street is named “The Brownstone” and currently lists 10 apartments ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, many of which have a terrace or private balcony.

One-bedrooms are priced from $2,200, two-bedrooms from $2,566, and three-bedrooms from $3,300. Some of the listings note that the rent advertised is the net effective rent, meaning that prospective tenants should prepare to pay a couple hundred bucks more each month than what’s on the listing. The building also has a laundry room, bike parking, 15 parking spaces, a gym and roof deck.

We’ve been following this development for some time now, which was built on subdivided land once owned by the African-American fraternal organization United Order of Tents. By the way, you can catch an exhibit about the Tents this month at 375 Stuyvesant, part of Weeksville’s and Creative Time’s “Black Radical Brooklyn.”
