A Restored 1905 Building Becomes Five Condos at 139 Clinton Avenue

Nov 1

139 Clinton Avenue, also known as the Rodolfo Condominium, is a five-unit condo in a restored 1905 building on one of Clinton Hill's mansion blocks, about 8 minutes from the G at Clinton-Washington Avenues. The sponsor is 139 Clinton Venture LLC. Unlike most buildings in the pipeline, construction here is already done: a Certificate of Occupancy was issued in November 2025.

Where Things Stand

The offering plan for 139 Clinton Avenue was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on November 25, 2025, and is awaiting acceptance. No homes are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations can't be taken. Across the 54 Brooklyn projects I've tracked from filing to acceptance since 2023, most were accepted 5 to 9 months after filing (about 7 and a half months on average). At about 11 months, this filing is past that range, so acceptance could come at any point. Because the building is finished, the paperwork is what stands between it and its first closings, so sales could move quickly once the plan is accepted.

What We Know So Far

Five residences across four floors in a 1905 building; the DOB job took it from four units to five
About 5,300 square feet of floor area per the DOB filing, roughly 1,050 to 1,100 square feet per home on average
Likely mix: two- and three-bedroom homes. With five units on four floors, I'd expect mostly one home per floor, with outdoor space on the bottom and top floors.
The building sellout is estimated at $8.2M, which would average about $1.64M per home
Certificate of Occupancy issued November 2025; offering plan filed November 25, 2025
What's next: Attorney General review typically takes several months, and pricing becomes public at acceptance.

Buying in a New Development?

New construction works differently than a resale: offering plans, sponsor contracts, closing costs and timelines all have their own rules.

A Closer Look at the Building

The Rodolfo is a true small-scale building: five homes in a 1905 structure that has been restored and reworked into condos rather than built from scratch, so buyers get modern systems and layouts inside a building with real history. It's a walk-up. 139 Clinton Avenue sits near the heart of some of the biggest mansions in the area, a bit further from transit and closer to the Navy Yard. Many blocks north of Myrtle Avenue are changing quickly.

Clinton Hill Highlights

Clinton Hill blends the residential calm of brownstone Brooklyn with the energy of Pratt Institute and the cultural pull of neighboring Fort Greene. The cafes and shops along Myrtle and Washington Avenues are close, and Fort Greene Park sits just beyond the neighborhood's western edge.

The G at Clinton-Washington Avenues, about an 8-minute walk
The C at Lafayette Avenue, about 12 minutes
The B, D, N, Q and R at DeKalb Avenue and the 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Nevins Street, each about 14 minutes
Pratt Institute and its sculpture garden, a short walk away

Katie's Take

I track every new development filing in Brooklyn, and here's how this one compares: it's the only building in the Clinton Hill pipeline that is already finished, so closings could follow acceptance quickly instead of waiting a year or more on construction. Recent Clinton Hill condos have asked about $1,300 to $1,500 a square foot, and the estimated sellout here works out a little above that, which fits a finished building on a mansion block. If you want a new condo on a mansion block and a move-in date that isn't years away, this is the one in the neighborhood to watch.
