The 11-story building with a massive courtyard is located at 107 Columbia Heights

Nearly a year after it came on the market, a Jehovah’s Witnesses-owned rental building in Brooklyn Heights has sold for $87.5 million, The Real Deal reports. Though a pretty pricey sale in itself, it’s significantly less than the $185 millionsome real estate websites had predicted it would sell for.

Clipper Realty, the developer behind the failed condo conversion of the Sony building, is the buyer behind this Brooklyn Heights sale, and is the latest among big name developers to scoop up a Jehovah’s Witnesses property.

The building, located at 107 Columbia Heights, is an 11-story building and comes with a massive landscaped courtyard. The folks at Clipper Realty told TRD that they plan to convert part of this courtyard into additional apartments. The sale is expected to close in May this year.

The Witnesses have been rapidly decamping from their onetime Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo stronghold as they make their way to their new base in Warwick, N.Y. Over the course of the last year, they sold the iconic Watchtower Building for $340 million to CIM Group, Kushner Companies, and LIVWRK, , and they also sold a massive parking lot to Kushner Companies at 85 Jay Street, among other sales.

    • Clearly, they are already demanding your exile. Yes! It's unfortunate that Pudgy spoiled a great discussion about science. I hope the discussion can continue without any more nonsensical interruptions. Just a suggestion since they are on your heels. Wow! You speak! It seems you have a lot to say! Now they are going to treat like, who do you think you are, mister big stuff! Are those aliens now going to imply that anyone who speaks out against the five or six key contributors to this site will be treated as though it is George just because those in opposition speak the language they hate to hear, the TRUTH? They are seeking individuals who will embrace their nonconformist values and appreciate what they can offer in shaping public opinion contrary to the established agenda of God and Christ. Their goal is to enhance their writing abilities and avoid squandering time on frivolous pursuits, mainly arguing about the truth they don't care for. They see it all as a mere game, even when leading people astray. They believe they have every right to and will face no biblical repercussions, or so they believe. They just want to have fun just like that Cyndi Lauper song. Be prepared to be belittled and ridiculed, all the while they claim to be angels. Haha! By the way, please refrain from using the same language as George. They appear to believe that when others use the same words, it means they are the same person, and they emphasize this as if no one else is allowed to use similar grammar. It seems they think only they have the right to use the same or similar writing styles. Quite amusing, isn't it? See, what I just placed in bold, now I'm George, lol! Now, let's leave this nice science thread for people that want to know more about science. I believe George left it at "Zero Distance."  
    • Nice little thread you’ve got going here, SciTech. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
    • It's truly disheartening when someone who is supposed to be a friend of the exclusive group resorts to using profanity in their comments, just like other members claiming to be witnesses. It's quite a ludicrous situation for the public to witness.  Yet, the "defense" of such a person, continues. 
    • No. However, I would appreciate if you do not reveal to all and sundry the secret meeting place of the closed club. (I do feel someone bad stomping on Sci’s little thread. But I see that has already happened.)

      Hello, Darlene, I just love your name, I had a cousin named Darline, and had a classmate also named Darlene! It's a pleasure to know another Darlene! Especially a Spiritual Sister! There's some websites, Ministry Ideaz , JW Stuff.com, and Etsy that I use to order my yearly buttons for the Conventions! They always send me what I order, and their also Jehovah's Witnesses, that send us the merchandise we order!  You can check out these websites, and they might have what your looking for! I hope I have been helpful in assisting you, Darlene! Agape love, Shirley!😀
