The Jehovah’s Witnesses former world headquarters could again see new life, this time as residential apartments.
Los Angeles-based CIM Group is seeking to rezone a swath of land in Dumbo that was once occupied by the Jehovah’s Witnesses sprawling Downtown Brooklyn campus at 25-30 Columbia Heights, according to an application submitted Friday to the Department of City Planning. Home to what is now known as Panorama Brooklyn — a retail, entertainment and creative office complex — CIM is proposing to transform the property into two mixed-use buildings containing about 640 apartments and a combined 113,000 square feet of commercial space.
The latest proposed iteration includes converting Panorama’s existing office space into a pair of mixed-use buildings with apartments. Specifically, 25 Columbia Heights, which currently sits vacant, would be expanded to 17 stories and partially converted to residential use. It would contain a total floor area of about 379,500 square feet, including about 367,200 square feet of residential use and 12,240 square feet of commercial or community facility space.
And 30 Columbia Heights, which is currently 13 stories, would be boosted to 14 stories, containing a total of 428,060 square feet of floor area. It would also be partially converted to include about 260,500 square feet of residential space and 167,500 square feet of commercial space. A quarter of the apartments in the residential portion of the property would be set aside as affordable, according to the application.

Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer started the year with an acquisition of a Financial District office building. He’s ending the year with plans in place for Manhattan’s next big conversion.

On December 19, 2025, Cammeby’s International Group, led by Avi Schron, filed plans to reposition three Financial District office buildings as residential properties, adding 823 units to New York City’s housing pipeline. The filing reflects a broader landlord response to elevated office vacancies and growing regulatory support for adaptive reuse, offering a clear roadmap for owners seeking value in legacy office assets.
The applications cover three longtime office towers: 42 Broadway, a 22-story, 389,927-square-foot building planned for 370 residential units; 39 Broadway, a 40-story, 447,452-square-foot tower planned for 332 units; and 32 Broadway, an 18-story, 143,000-square-foot property planned for 121 units. All three sit on irregular lots zoned C5-5, allowing up to 15 FAR commercial or 10 FAR residential with inclusionary housing. The strategy relies on rehabilitation and selective enlargement rather than ground-up construction, accelerating timelines and controlling costs in Lower Manhattan. With FiDi still roughly 74 percent office, these filings signal sustained momentum for residential growth amid 17.4 million square feet of construction activity across the district.

Buildings like this need to be landmarked! We are waaaayyyyyy too lax with our architectural heritage!
