An 1851 Townhouse Becomes Three Condos at 222 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights

Nov 1

222 Henry Street is an 1851 townhouse in Brooklyn Heights being converted into three condos, a few blocks from the Promenade and about a 3-minute walk from the N and R at Court Street. The sponsor is Nexus Building Development Group, which also filed a garden condo project at 144 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill. Condos almost never come up in Brooklyn Heights townhouses, which makes this one notable.

Where Things Stand

The offering plan for the 222 Henry Street Condominium was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on August 4, 2026, 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), which points to acceptance between roughly January and May 2027.

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

222 Henry Street is a rehab of an 1851 townhouse on one of the quietest and prettiest stretches of Brooklyn Heights. Three homes in a house this size points to a ground floor and top floor with outdoor space, likely as duplexes, and a middle home that may be a two- or three-bedroom. It's a walk-up with a garden. Compared with some other conversions in Brooklyn Heights, this is a fairly accessible price point for the size. Finishes and the final layouts will come with the accepted plan.

Brooklyn Heights Highlights

Brooklyn Heights was New York City's first designated historic district, and Henry Street is one of its quietest stretches. The Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park are a short walk west, and the Montague and Court Street corridors are around the corner for groceries, coffee and dinner.

The N and R at Court Street, about a 3-minute walk
The 2, 3, 4 and 5 at Borough Hall, about 5 minutes
The A, C and F at Jay Street-MetroTech, about 8 minutes, and the A and C at High Street, about 9 minutes
The Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, a short walk away

Katie's Take

I track every new development filing in Brooklyn, and here's how this one compares: at about $4.57M per home, it sits above 103 Joralemon Street, where the plan estimates $3.0M to $3.5M per home, but the homes here are likely larger, around 2,500 square feet versus about 2,000. 138 Joralemon Street's accepted plan works out to about $2,400 a square foot, so on a per-foot basis this one may land below the priciest townhouse conversions in the neighborhood. With only three homes and acceptance likely in the first half of 2027, buyers who want a large Brooklyn Heights condo with outdoor space should follow this one now.
