Renderings Revealed for Church-to-Condo Conversion on Saint Nicholas Avenue

Renderings have been revealed for a former Romanian Pentecostal church being converted to condos just on the Brooklyn side of the Bushwick-Ridgewood border. Permits filed in December show that the developer, Home Zone Corp., is planning to add three stories to the existing one-story former church building at 198 Saint Nicholas Avenue and turn it into two buildings with three units each.

In the renderings, which BuzzBuzzHome was the first to publish, the first story maintains the feel of its church origins, with brick and arched doors on one side. The gray, modern-style addition has tall windows, some of them arched and reminiscent of a church building. There are also what look like two separate roof gardens or decks.

The first and second floors of each building will each house one apartment, with duplexes utilizing the third and four floors. The designer is Melamed Architect. This is part of a trend of turning churches into condos in Brooklyn, while preserving and adding onto the original building.
