Planning the Future of Pearl & Memphis

The corner of Pearl Rd. and Memphis Ave. in Old Brooklyn has been at the center of our neighborhood for more than 200 years, yet in recent times has lacked the vibrancy and energy being established throughout many other sections of Old Brooklyn.

In spring 2014 the St. Luke’s Church was abandoned and left empty. After six years of seeking redevelopment partners for the vacant structure, Old Brooklyn Community Development Corporation took possession of the church in January of 2020.
