A Restored 1905 Building Becomes Five Condos at 139 Clinton Avenue
Welcome to 139 Clinton Avenue, also known as the Rodolfo Condominium, a boutique five-unit collection on one of Clinton Hill's storied mansion blocks. This project takes a 1905 building and restores it into modern condo residences, the kind of careful conversion that keeps the character of Clinton Avenue intact while bringing new homes to the block. With five units, likely it will be one unit per floor and the bottom and top floor will have outdoor space.
Where Things Stand
Where things stand: 139 Clinton Avenue's offering plan was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on November 25, 2025, and it is currently awaiting acceptance. That means no units are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations cannot be taken. From here, it typically takes about 6 to 12 months for the Attorney General to review and accept a plan. The building itself is already complete, with a Certificate of Occupancy issued in November 2025, so this is a case where the construction is done and the paperwork is what stands between the building and its first closings. If it is on your radar, now is the time to start the conversation.
The Numbers So Far
The offering plan has not yet been accepted, so unit pricing and the full sell-out figure are not public yet. What we do know: the building holds five residences across roughly 5,480 square feet, which works out to about 1,100 square feet per home on average. The building sellout is estimated at $8.2M which would average at $1.64M a unit. I will update this post with pricing once the Attorney General accepts the plan.

A Boutique Condo Experience
With just five residences across four floors, the Rodolfo Condominium is a true small-scale building. It is a rehab, which means the 1905 structure is being restored and reworked into condominiums rather than built from scratch, so buyers get modern systems and layouts inside a building with real history.
The Heart of Clinton Hill
Clinton Hill blends the residential calm of brownstone Brooklyn with the energy of Pratt Institute and the cultural pull of neighboring Fort Greene. 139 Clinton Avenue sits right near the heart of some of the biggest mansions in the area but a bit further from transit and closer to the Navy Yard. Many blocks in this area North of Myrtle Avenue are changing rapidly.
The G train at Clinton and Washington Avenues is an 8-minute walk.
The A and C at Lafayette Avenue are about 12 minutes, and the B/D/N/Q/R at DeKalb Avenue and the 2/3/4/5 at Nevins Street are each about 14 minutes.
The building is zoned to District 13, with P.S. 046 Edward C. Blum as the elementary school.
Walkable to Pratt Institute and its sculpture garden, the cafes and shops along Myrtle and Washington Avenues, and Fort Greene Park just beyond the neighborhood's western edge.
Designed for Modern Brooklyn Living
A five-unit restoration of a 1905 building on Clinton Avenue is exactly the kind of project that suits Clinton Hill, where the appeal has always been the mansion-block architecture and the small scale. For buyers who want a brand-new home with the charm of a converted brownstone, this one is worth keeping an eye on.
