I found this quite interested cause it appeared on New York Magazine's website. I also wanted to pass it on to anyone who may be looking at property in BED STUY. There are a few websites listed below that contain additional info on property in this area.




A tipster brings this brownstone condo-ization at 327 MacDonough Street in Bed Stuy to our attention, noting that he believes this is a first this far east into Bed Stuy. We're not entirely sure that's true -- can anyone cite another example of a brownstone being condo'd in this neck of the woods? As for the project, the developers appear to have bought the building in December 2005 for $650,000. The sign in the front yard is promising two-bedroom condos in the Spring of 2007. The website at adobeproperties.com is still under construction.

Can anyone post any other examples of condo development in Bed-Stuy? I'm very interested in this phenomenon.

I believe 76 Macdonough was also made into condos

i thought i saw a sign on a house that said Corcoran was sponsoring a condo/brownstone conversion - maybe on Halsey street?

Is it really cost efficient to convert to condos with average prices at or below $300k for a 2br?

The following link has the price breakdown for 76 MacDonough: http://ltjbukem.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_ltjbukem_archive.html

There's the development at 76 MacDonough. The duplex sold for 500k and the third floor for 389K, I think. The top floor is still available. Check out www.designerbrownstones.com. There is also a conversion project on Halsey St and another under construction on Hancock (Lewis and Marcus Garvey).

Does anyone know where the Halsey one is?

the schools in this neighborhood are definately in need of a lot of help (which due to the demographics of the neighborhood the board of ed will never really do) and will kill your property value if the economy tanks.

rofl...bed stuy is the same school district as fort greene and clinton Hill. last time i checked, two bedrooms were going for as high as 850,000 in those hoods. so much for demographic theory. bed stuy will be just fine.

In my opinion, 277 nostrand was the first condo in Bed-Stuy.
