BREAKING: Remaining portion of Green Church site up for sale as development property
Nearly 10 years after Bay Ridge’s beloved “Green Church” was demolished, the portion of the property saved by the congregation to build a new sanctuary is up for sale as a “development site.”
A sign advertising the property was posted at the end of March on the fence in front of the 7,920-square-foot construction site at 364 Ovington Avenue, just off Fourth Avenue. Beyond is evidence of construction begun, with steel beams rising vertically near a masonry structure; ground was broken for the new sanctuary in December, 2015.
Community Board 10 “has received calls about the lot now being up for sale,” noted District Manager Josephine Beckmann, who told this paper that recently the board had been handling paperwork relating to the sanctuary’s construction and that a crane operation had been scheduled for April 7 and 14 that she had just confirmed was still on the crane crew’s calendar.
“Neighbors are concerned about what could potentially be developed there, as well as whether the crane operations will take place over the next two weekends as planned,” Beckmann went on.
