The NYC Partnership Housing Development Fund sold the former Catholic school at 180 Bainbridge Street to an entity called “Bainbridge Realty Holdings LLC” for $2.4 million. We featured the Bed-Stuy property as a Building of the Day last year, when local residents were trying to get it designated as an individual landmark and have the Partnership rehab it as housing. According to DOB records, the building has been calendered for landmarking. We didn’t hear back from the Partnership and couldn’t find any information on the firm that bought the building. Does anybody know what may be in store for it? Here’s hoping it doesn’t have a date with the wrecking ball. GMAP
A calendared property is not exempt from demolition indefinitely.
That status can delay demolition but only for so long. At some point the Landmarks Commission has to fish or cut bait. If they decide not to designate, the demo permit will be issued.
