A Bed-Stuy Brownstone Becomes Four Condos at 203 Macon Street

203 Macon Street is a four-story 1900 brownstone in Bedford-Stuyvesant that is being converted into four condos. Today it is an eight-apartment rental building, so the plan cuts the number of homes in half, which points to larger layouts. The sponsor is LBWI NY Realty LLC, led by Eliahu Nahman. The C train at Kingston-Throop Avenues is about a 5-minute walk.

Where Things Stand

The offering plan for 203 Macon Street was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on November 9, 2026, and is awaiting acceptance. No homes are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations can't be taken. Across the 55 Brooklyn projects I've tracked from filing to acceptance, most were accepted 5 to 9 months after filing (about 7 months is typical), which points to acceptance between roughly April and August 2027.

The Numbers So Far

Four residences in a four-story brownstone of about 7,500 square feet. The offering plan projects a total sellout of about $9.3 million, an average of about $2.3 million per home. With the building going from eight apartments to four, the homes will likely be floor-through or duplex layouts. Final unit mix and pricing will be released once the plan is accepted.

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

Built in 1900, the house is a four-story brownstone on a residential stretch of Macon Street. A conversion like this usually keeps the facade and stoop while replacing systems, kitchens and baths inside. It is a walk-up, and the plan's floor plans will show how the four floors split into homes, which ones get outdoor space, and how the cellar is used. Those details come out once the plan is accepted.

Bed-Stuy Highlights

Bed-Stuy has some of the best preserved brownstone blocks in Brooklyn: tree-lined streets, landmark rowhouses, and a growing mix of cafes and restaurants along Tompkins, Lewis and Nostrand Avenues.

  • The C at Kingston-Throop Avenues, about a 5-minute walk

  • The A and C at Nostrand Avenue, about 7 minutes

  • Fulton Street shops and restaurants, a short walk away

Katie's Take

I track every new development filing in Brooklyn, and this one stands out for its price point. At about $2.3 million per home, 203 Macon Street's projected sellout is the second highest per home among the Bed-Stuy plans I'm tracking that are waiting on acceptance, behind only 964 Bedford Avenue. It is also a rare case of a building going from more apartments to fewer, which usually means bigger homes than the typical conversion on the block. The next milestone is acceptance, likely between April and August 2027.
