The penthouse will also include a private rooftop terrace, while building amenities will include a residents’ lounge, a fitness center and a second floor terrace.

Former Jehovah’s Witnesses Site May Bring Mixed-Use Building
As the Jehovah’s Witnesses continue to make their move to upstate New York, the group has sold another of its Brooklyn properties. Located at 74 Adams Street in Dumbo, the single-story repair garage was reportedly purchased by developer Jeffrey Gershon of Hope Street Capital. Gershon has since filed plans to demolish the building, but has not yet specified what will be built in its place. What is known is that the site is zned for a 145,000-square-foot mixed-use development. As such, Gershon could choose to create apartments, retail space, office space or any combination of the three.
This recent transaction follows a $200 million sale in which the Jehovah’s Witnesses sold their Witnesses’ Towers. The property is being converted into a luxury senior home.
