Sales have recently launched at 256 East 4th Street, a five-story boutique condominium with a modern yet contextually sensitive red brick facade in the heart of the East Village. Two of the six units, including a floor-through three-bed with direct elevator access and a private terrace, have entered contract, and the one public availability as of early June 2026 is a half-floor one-bedroom is asking $1.195 million.

The condominium's sales launch comes over 100 years after a low-rise Neo-Gothic building with a red brick facade, arched windows on the upper levels, and a pale cornice was constructed as a synagogue/shul for the Ukrainian Lemberger Congregation in 1925. In the 1970s, as the Puerto Rican population of the East Village and Alphabet City grew, it was converted to Iglesia Evangelica Bautista, a Spanish-language Baptist church; aside from replacing the Star of David on the building's roundel with a cross, its exteriors were largely unchanged. Public records show that Iglesia Evangelica Bautista sold the building to developer Ariel Shomolov for $2.95 million in November 2024, and an entity dubbed 89 Development LLC filed permits for a new building in March 2025.

Local preservationists hoped the building's original facade could have been preserved amidst a residential conversion, but project architect StudiosC Architecture found that decades of water damage made this unfeasible, and the old building was demolished. It was replaced with a low-rise condominium where the facade is accentuated by structural piers clad in a deep red Roman brick that creates sharp angles intersecting horizontally and vertically. Renderings show flower boxes in the windows.

All interiors feature high ceilings, wide-plank oak floors, abundant natural light from oversized windows, in-unit laundry, built-in Russound speakers, and video intercom systems with remote access. The kitchens come outfitted with white oak cabinetry, Calacatta marble countertops veined in soft grays and gold, and appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, including wine storage. The bedrooms have deep closets, and the bathrooms offer soft limestone floors with radiant heating, marble-backed vanities, and state-of-the-art fixtures.
