Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio issued a decree 9.14.2011 declaring that the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary at 72 Maujer Street, Williamsburg, has been relegated to profane use and may be placed for sale. For some years it has been part of Most Holy Trinity parish.
-----
The parish of Most Holy Trinity was established in 1841 for German-speaking Catholics. In 1853, Immaculate Conception parish was established a half-mile north.

About 11.1.2014, NY-Curbed reported on the construction of 40 apartments in the much-renovated and extended building that now carries the address 81 Ten Eyck Street. Link HERE. The article says that the diocese leased the property for $6 million (per what term?). The developer is the firm of Nataliya Donskoy, which may be the same one doing St. Cecilia School on a 49-year lease.
