In the beginning of 2014, the French Evangelical Church sold its soul air rights to Einhorn Development Group for an undisclosed sum, providing the church some much-needed funds to continue care of the 150-year-old building. Now, Einhorn plans to erect 14 condos over 11 stories that will surround the historic building. Neighborhood residents argue the addition is both visually unappealing and out-of-context for the low-scaled Chelsea neighborhood.

Neighbor to the Barclay's Center and situated in a rapidly transforming 'hood, Boerum Hill's Church of the Redeemer has sat congregation-less for years. In 2012, demolition permits were filed for the 127-year-old building. Last we heard of the site, Halstead was marketing the property as a $17 million tear-down, ideally to be snatched up and developed as an 8 to 10 story condo with ground-floor retail.

In the 145 years since its 1869 construction, Chelsea's St. Vincent de Paul has lost its faith and its face. The Landmarks Preservation Commission practically signed the church's demolition permits when they deemed a 1939 facade installed atop the building's original "insignificant." The building has sat vacant and uncared for since January 2013.

Once popular among actors and Broadway-goers for its convenient Midtown location, today the Church of the Holy Innocents is on its last legs. Built in 1866, the archdiocese may close the parish soon, despite it being one of the oldest (but, alas, un-landmarked) buildings in the Garment District.

Where once there was Catholicism, there will soon be condos. Bought by Peter Poon for $7 million in 2012, the building is slated to be turned into a seven-story apartment building with 22 units.

Ah, Brooklyn, the Borough of Churches Condos. St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church is slated to soon join the slew of other converted religious institutions. Cayuga Capital has 99 rentals planned for the space, with a triplex in the steeple and terraces on the top floors.

As many do to stay afloat amidst financial struggles, the Fort Tryon Jewish Center made a 2005 deal with developer Ruddy Thompson for the holy center's air rights and half of its lobby. Thompson promised to rehab the center and build a 23-story, 144-unit tower called One Bennett Park on the adjacent lot. Construction started and ended in 2008, thanks to the housing bubble which burst just after Thompson gutted the synagogue and excavated the adjacent lot. With a cut-off loan, Thompson has been unable to finish the gutted building which is now fighting foreclosure.

Once known as Williamsburg's St. Vincent De Paul Church, the 145 year old structure was unleashed onto the market this week as 40 rental apartments developed by Heritage Equity Partners. A spattering of new listings for the building offer a $4,250 1.5 bedroom apartment and a $5,500 2BR apartments.

A Crown Heights church is being converted into a five-story, 165-unit apartment building. In place of religious comfort, the new rentals will include 83 parking spaces and a grass perimeter around the set-back building. The church's community hall will also be demolished to make way for the Think Architecture-designed building.

This 1850 Gothic Revival-style building came under ownership of Beth Hamedrash Hagadol in 1885, and was granted landmark status in 1967. Now, the 164 year old building is in a sorry state of disrepair, with the congregation's leader unsure of whether to move forward with or without the building. To date, flip-flopper Rabbi Mendel Greenbaum has considered 1) selling the valuable Lower East Side land off to a developer, 2) demolishing the building while still under ownership of the synagogue and replacing it with a residential structure, and 3) preserving—or at least not demolishing—the dilapidated building. Where the Rabbi stands now is unclear, but it seems the building needs a miracle (and a persistent LPC) if it is to remain standing for much longer.

The oldest Baptist church in Brooklyn is looking for a development partner following a 2011 fire that badly damaged the 1893 building. Although the church is on the National Register of Historic Places, that doesn't preclude it from being demolished, added to, or otherwise altered. Developers be warned: the church plans to maintain occupancy on the lower levels of any new development or addition.

Developer Boaz Gilad snatched up the former Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and with the help of architects Isaac & Stern, plans to bring a new seven story, 32 unit residential building to the site.

Sure, conversion is admirable, but Isaac & Stern should repent for their design of this Romanesque Revival Church in Crown Heights. Permits to expand the structure to seven stories are currently pending approval from the Department of Buildings. The new building would have 17 units, including a duplex penthouse. Boaz Gilad is behind this reincarnation.

This East Village church and its school and rectory have been leveled by developer Douglas Steiner to make room for a seven-story, 158-unit building with frontage on East 11th and East 12th streets and Avenue A. The hodgepodge design includes 22 affordable rentals and a rooftop swimming pool.

In October 2013, this former church premiered as a three-apartment building, with each unit hosting three bedrooms, three bathrooms, 20-foot ceilings, and outdoor space. The three units, which are all off the market, were selling between $2.3 million and $2.5 million.

Giving up on prayer and entering the atheistic and remunerative market that is real estate, Tifereth Israel of 14th Street is on the market. Massey Knakal is listing the 1860's structure for $13.95 million. Although the lot can legally accommodate an additional 14,000-square-feet to its existing 11,000-square-feet, brokers are marketing the site as a residential or commercial conversion. Oy!

Extell snagged this congregation's rectory and parish house in 2013 with plans to convert it into a 16-floor, 17-unit building that shamelessly cantilevers over and wraps around the 1911 church. Perhaps kicked into momentum by the horrible spawn building Extell pitched to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the LPC shortly thereafter approved the new Park Avenue Historic District, granting clemency to the doomed church. In a surprise twist, the Extell-owned portions of the church were deemed "no style" by the LPC, paving the way for Extell to demolish the rectory and erect whatever structure architects Beyer Blinder Belle dream up for the megadeveloper.

Founded in 1892, the financially-floundering Anshei Meseritz inked a $1.2 million 99-year lease with East River Partners in 2013, allowing the developers to add an additional two floors and convert the landmarked building into condos. While not much appears to be happening at the site, signage out front says the condos will arrive by winter 2015. The synagogue will reportedly retain ground-floor space in the building for their use.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development finished an affordable housing complex on the site of the former Our Lady of Loreto Church in Brownsville in late 2013. The eight four-story buildings house 64 units with rents that range from $597 to $860 a month. RKTB Architects designed the building that assumed the site of the former 100-year-old church that closed its doors due to low attendance.

This church was closed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn in 2010 when it was already in a state of disrepair. Today, the crumbling structure sits without a congregation and without a future, as far as we know.
