The former St. John School, at 5 St. Johns Square, is being targeted for adaptive reuse.
A developer has submitted a plan to the Middletown Planning and Zoning Commission to convert a former Catholic school into a 16-unit apartment complex.
PB Projects 18 LLC is targeting the former St. John School, at 5 St. Johns Square, for an adaptive reuse.
PB Projects 18 LLC is controlled by Brian Lyman, who is the managing real estate broker at Unionville-based development firm Parker Benjamin Inc. Dimitrios Karouta, Parker Benjamin’s director of real estate development, is listed as the project applicant.
According to a project application, the redevelopment will create 14 one-bedroom apartments and two, two-bedroom units in the 16,120-square-foot building.
Four units will target households earning 80% of Middletown’s area median income, while the remaining 12 units will target households earning 100% of area median income, the application said.
The school building will be legally subdivided from the larger St. John Church property. It’s also a historic structure that will be subject of a State Historic Preservation Office and National Park Service tax credit application, according to the developer.
The project won’t involve changes to the exterior of the building.
The property is currently owned by the St. John Church Corp.
