Halsey Street Buyer Files 10-Unit Plan 15 Days After Deed
The buyer is an LLC with no public brand behind it. The records show $5.0M of recorded debt against a $3.4M price, and a lot that last sold on the public index for $110,000 in 2005.
A vacant 2,000-square-foot lot at 308 Halsey Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant changed hands for $3.4 million, and 15 days after the deed was recorded the new owner filed plans for a 10-unit, three-story building. The buyer is Halsey BK LLC, and no public record we found ties it to a named developer.
Why it matters
The deed from 312 Halsey LLC to Halsey BK LLC was recorded September 17. The DOB NOW filing for a new three-story building with cellar and 10 dwelling units was submitted October 2 and sits in plan examiner review. A buyer that files within about two weeks of closing usually had the design in hand before it bought. Because the lot is vacant per city PLUTO data and the filing shows no demolition, there was nothing to clear first. The filing names a corporation as owner and lists no business name, so we cannot say who is behind the LLC.
The numbers
The land price is $1,700 per square foot, or $340,000 per proposed unit. Two mortgages from Halsey BK LLC to Wisdom Equities LLC, for $3,060,000 and $1,940,000, were recorded with the deed. Together they come to $5.0 million, or 147% of the price, and two assignments of mortgage to Webster Bank followed the same day. The recorded debt is larger than the purchase, so it appears to cover more than the land, but the documents do not say how the extra $1.6 million is meant to be used. On the seller’s side, the index shows a 2005 deed at $110,000 and a $0 transfer in 2016 between entities sharing a mailing address. The 2005 price may not describe the lot as it is drawn today, so we do not treat it as a clean profit figure.
What’s next
Watch the filing’s status. A move from plan examiner review to approval would show whether the 10-unit scheme holds, and a permit would follow. Also watch for a construction loan or an amended mortgage on block 1846, lot 35 that explains the $5.0 million. More on Brooklyn land and permits is on the New York market page.
On the record
What we checked ourselves, and where you can check it too.
- Public recordThe deed (ACRIS 2026091600374001) moved Brooklyn block 1846, lot 35 from 312 Halsey LLC to Halsey BK LLC for $3,400,000, recorded September 17, 2026. The Department of Buildings job B01451262-I1, a New Building filing, was submitted October 2, 2026. That is 15 days from recording to filing, and the filing proposes 10 dwelling units, so the land price works out to $340,000 per proposed unit.View the record on a836-acris.nyc.gov
- Public recordThe lot is 2,000 square feet and carries no building, per PLUTO (class V0, vacant), and the DOB filing shows no demolition work. The $3.4M price is $1,700 per square foot of land.View the record on a810-bisweb.nyc.gov
- Public recordTwo mortgages recorded with the deed (2026091600374002 for $3,060,000 and 2026091600374003 for $1,940,000), both from Halsey BK LLC to Wisdom Equities LLC, total $5,000,000, or 147% of the deed price. Two assignments of mortgage to Webster Bank, N.A. were recorded the same day.View the record on a836-acris.nyc.gov
- Public recordThe seller's chain is thin in the public index. 312 Halsey LLC took the lot in a 2016 deed recorded at $0 from Halseyland Inc., which shares the seller's mailing address (PO Box 620800, Douglaston). Halseyland bought it in 2005 from Fendi Homes Inc. in a recorded $110,000 transaction. Ownership before 2026 therefore shows a $110,000 price on the index and a $3.4M price now, but the 2005 figure may not reflect the lot as it exists today.View the record on a836-acris.nyc.gov
