The BRA today unanimously approved a developer's plan to turn the old Gate of Heaven school at 609 E. 4 St. into 26 condos - half of them units spanning two stories.
Unusual for a project in a dense neighborhood, the project would have more parking spaces than units - 40.
The proposal had been opposed by neighbors fed up with the condoization of the neighborhood, who argued the building should be sold to somebody willing to turn it back into a school.
