These views are heavenly.

Pardon the pun, but we felt compelled to use it. The building with these OMG-worthy vistas belongs to the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

It’s 107 Columbia Heights, an 11-story residential building in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District that the Watchtower recently put up for sale. It could go for more than $1,000 per square foot, the Commercial Observer has reported, which would be upwards of $154 million.

The religious organization, which has been a presence in Brooklyn Heights for a century, is liquidating its real estate portfolio in the landmarked neighborhood and DUMBO to prepare for a move to upstate New York.

The Brooklyn Eagle obtained the Watchtower’s permission to publish these photos, which are on a website the organization created to market 107 Columbia Heights.

The photo of the rooftop terrace is a visual reminder that the 102-foot-tall property was constructed in 1959, before the neighborhood was landmarked and a height restriction was imposed for new buildings.

The view includes the World Trade Center, the Woolworth Building and the Brooklyn Bridge. Amen and Hallelujah!
