The Jehovah’s Witnesses have already unloaded a huge number of properties in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights — 17, to be exact — but believe it or not, there are still 16 properties left to sell. The Brooklyn Eagle has compiled an exhaustive list:

*Five buildings on the waterfront: 25, 30, 50 and 58 Columbia Heights and 55 Furman Street. No. 25 is pictured above, along with a glimpse of No. 50.
*A vacant lot at 67 Furman Street.
*A vacant lot at 1 York Street
*Another vacant lot at 85 Jay Street
*A massive cluster of buildings at 97, 107, 119 and 124 Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights.
*Also in the Heights, turreted 21 Clark Street, a once-time hotel.
*Two small buildings at 80 and 86 Willow Street.
*Another hotel, at 90 Sands Street, which Kushner and RFR are already in contract to buy, although the Witnesses plan to remain there until 2017.

Real estate execs told the paper the market for Brooklyn property is “super hot” and they expect competition to be “huge” for the properties. A Witnesses exec gave no timetable for the sales.
