An 1839 Cobble Hill Building Becomes Two Boutique Condos at 181 Baltic Street
Welcome to 181 Baltic Street, a two-unit condominium conversion inside one of Cobble Hill's oldest buildings, dating to 1839. Turning a nearly two-century-old structure into a pair of brand-new homes is about as Cobble Hill as a project gets, history and scale preserved, interiors made modern.
Where Things Stand
The offering plan for 181 Baltic Street was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on October 27, 2025, and it is awaiting acceptance. No units are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations cannot be taken. Acceptance typically takes about 6 to 12 months.
The Numbers So Far
181 Baltic Street is planned as two residential units across three floors, with roughly 3,375 square feet of total building area and no commercial space. With only two homes, expect generous, multi-level layouts inside a historic shell. Final pricing and the unit mix will be released once the plan is accepted.
