The adaptive reuse project at St. John's College preserves historical architecture while providing over 200 market-rate apartments, aiding community housing solutions.
Plans to convert the St. John's College complex into rental apartments began around 2015, highlighting a prolonged timeline before realization, showcasing adaptive reuse's benefits.
Despite not being landmarked, the college's developers chose adaptation over demolition, seeing value in the buildings' historical significance and potential for modern residential use.
The project respects Bed Stuy’s history while addressing housing demands, demonstrating a successful balance of heritage preservation and contemporary urban needs.
