The Redeemed Christian Church of God, on January 9, filed a permit application for construction of a 51,000-square-foot sanctuary at 444 Ruby Street in East New York, Brooklyn. Kunle Omotoso, a pastor with the church, filed the plans.

The plans are one of 28 new building plans filed in East New York over the previous 12 months. Of the 28 plans, these are the first plans calling for the construction of an assembly building in the neighborhood.

The project is described in the filing as: new place of worship.

Per the plans, the ground floor will be used as a church while the second floor will be a school with office space.

The architect listed is Banji Awosika Architect P.C.

The property was acquired for $725,000 on December 3, 2012.
