155 Freeman Street: Extremely Tempting
We just sat here staring at the photo of this building for the last ten minutes seriously contemplating whether we should sell our house to by this. The high ceilings, the rounded windows, the color of the old brick, the old storefront, the parking…beautiful. And it’s huge ‘ 7,500 5,700 square feet. Dunno how much…

Dunno how much it costs as the folks over at North Brooklyn Realty haven’t put the darn thing up on their website yet. You can give a call to 718.383.5553 to find out. Just remember to let us know. Update: North Brooklyn’s out, Massey Knakal’s in. See the listing link below.
155 Freeman Street [Massey Knakal] GMAP P*Shark
mr b: also, the lot is 2500 sf, so if it was 3 full floors it would be 7500 sf (property shark’s #), but if you look at the photo you posted, you can see the 3rd floor is the full length of the lot accounting for the 1800 sf difference…prop shark is just wrong on this one.
mr b:
i would imagine the broker would be more than glad to push it as 7,500 sf, but they are advertising it as 5,700 sf…check the listing.
I too am interested in this building.
I got snookered out of 105 Freeman St. a few years back. I can tell you that 105 went for 800K at the end of 2003. I was told by an appraiser that if I bot it and made it a single family that it would be the most expensive home in Greenpoint. I figured that I had to put 3-400K into it. The buyer has made it into three apts and a retail(as yet unrented)space.
Someone bot the building next door to 105 recently. It too was being described as a development site.
The building directly behind 105 was a garage and has been redeveloped.
I remember seeing this buidling with the development sketches for a lot more money. At a million five plus reno costs, it will be a project to get it into shape.
Toxic waste makes anything in this part of Brooklyn a serious hazard, especially for kids.
Stay Away!
You sure? Property Shark says 7,500…
Its not the best part of Greenpoint, theres a few empty shopfronts on greenpoint ave near there. It is an interesting building, but as noted above, it needs a whole lot of very expensive work. However, as for the benzene, thats way over the other side of Greenpoint, nearer whale creek. Theres no spillage under anything to the west of McGuiness
mr. b: just to be fully disclosed, it’s “only” 5,700 sf, not 7,500 sf as you state.
Its 5 blocks to the G train at Greenpoint av. Thats not bad is it? Where did you find the info about benzene in this area? I have looked at maps that do not show that in this part of Greenpoint ( the alphabet streets). The building is beautiful on the inside. Definitely not a flip, but if you want to settle in and live here 10-20 years the neighborhood will catch up to wont it? It started at 1.5mil. Then they went up to 2.1mil with pics of the potential development of the site with the FAR. not its back down to 1.5. I would be worried about the parking lot next door, how much FAR does that lot have, will they build past the second floor windows. This carriage house still has the 9 ton lift for the horses as well as the iron hooks in the walls to hook up the horses on the second floor. This place is so out of my league but if I won the Lotto….
And you would have to convince your wife – she might have something to say about this —
