Another piece of Polish Greenpoint may be fading into the past. A small Polish bakery on a big lot near McCarren Park has sold for $4,700,000, according to public records. The 10,000-square-foot property at 585 Manhattan Avenue is deep, stretching all the way through to Lorimer Street between Nassau and Driggs avenues. The name of the buyer of the two-story brick building is 868 Lorimer Project LLC. The Swidzinski family had owned the building, which housed the New Warsaw Bakery Company, since 1989.
It turns out that the buyer is Chatham Development Company, which is listed on new building applications filed in November. Plans call for a seven-story, 14-unit building with two towers and ground-floor retail. There will be 17 subterranean parking spaces, 15 bike storage spots, a rec room and a roof terrace. With 25,133 square feet of residential space, each of the 14 apartments will be roughly 1,800 square feet. We’re guessing condos. The remaining 651 square feet will be retail. The architect of record is Stephen B Jacobs Group, which has worked on projects ranging from The Edge in Williamsburg to the LED-studded tower planned for 8-16 Nevins Street.
Demolition permits haven’t been filed yet for the bakery building.

4.7 Million for THAT???
Location, location, location.
Looks like the OLD New Warsaw Polish Bakery....
Same effect even is Crown Heights.... slum properties going for $1M....
Something isn’t right about the location. Look at the picture in the article then look at the building at 585 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn, NY on google maps. Same bakery name but different building.
The building goes all the way through to the street behind, Lorimer St., and that’s the facade shown in the article.
They made great rye bread.
Is that building before or after the Luftwaffe got through with it?
This view is the Lorimer Street side. The Manhattan Ave. side is the ‘something wrong’ view you are seeing...
Geez, in the 80’s that was a great place to get mugged or worse and thanks to the commie Mayor and exodus of police protection it soon will be again.
They need to paint that EMT brick colored
At least
