A Private Pricing Opinion — what your apartment at The Abbey would likely sell for today, what it costs to sell, and what you’d walk away with — reviewed personally against condition, exposures, renovation quality, and the competition actually on the market.
The Abbey occupies an 1888 Gothic Revival chapel (LPC records also list an 1885 chapel on the site) whose stained glass, masonry and timber survived its conversion to housing. Set back from Adelphi Street, the former religious building contains twelve condominiums with gardens, high interior volumes and apartments arranged across several levels. Its pointed openings and retained historic fabric give the homes an architectural character established long before the condominium offering.
The property became rental housing in 2016 before KSR Development and Visabe brought it to the condominium market. Combined Architecture carried out the earlier adaptation of the main building and adjoining parish house. That work included extensive stabilization, introducing concrete shear walls and steel alongside the older structural fabric.
The current condominium is a rehabilitation offering accepted by the Attorney General in May 2025. The sponsor is 232 Adelphi Realty Co LLC. The original building and its later residential alterations sit within the Fort Greene Historic District.
Architecture and unit composition
Marshall & Walters designed the chapel and parish house in the Gothic Revival style, per contemporary press. Inside, retained stained glass and exposed brick form part of the residential rooms. The later renovation reused timber from pews and support beams as stair treads in several homes. Those materials connect the interior circulation to the building's former use.
The apartment mix runs from studios to three-bedroom homes. Lower-level configurations include garden duplexes and a triplex; upper residences include duplexes extending between the second and third levels, alongside single-level apartments. Some ground-floor homes have private yards, including a studio. Outdoor space is therefore present across different apartment sizes.
The cellar portions of the lower duplexes sit below their principal residential levels. Upper duplexes instead extend into the roof volume. The distinction affects the placement of windows, internal stairs and the rooms that receive daylight. The compact single-level homes avoid the internal circulation required by the larger multilevel layouts.
Building operations
Shared facilities include an elevator, virtual doorman, bicycle room and storage. The private gardens are attached to particular residences. They are separate from the building's shared entrance and circulation areas.
The offering became effective in September 2025. An amendment accepted in March 2026 addressed a permanent certificate of occupancy and a sponsor-controlled board. That dated disclosure makes the board transition a specific issue for early resales: a purchaser should establish who now appoints the board and whether control has passed to the apartment owners.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
