For-sale signs have been affixed around what appears to be one of the last public outposts of the Nuwaubian Nation in Brooklyn; an ominous, windowless, sand-colored compound on 717 Bushwick Avenue affixed with equally large Egyptian imagery, cartoon-blue window panels and a huge ankh cross for much of the past decade. 

“We’re just collecting offers,” says Tommy Ashley, who picked up the phone number listed on the signs, speaking on behalf of “United Sabaeans Worldwide,” which has been operating both the colorful building on the border between Bushwick and Bey-Stuy, as well as the next door gift shop and bookstore, where it goes by the name “All Eyes on Egipt.” The larger building goes by the name “Sanctuary of the Sabaeans,” as declared by a sign in front of that building’s imposing black doors. Both are taking offers, says Ashley.

Per Ashley, who calls himself an “in between” for the group and possible buyers, the group is not planning on closing down its operations in Bushwick just yet. Ashley declined to say how much the Sabaeans are seeking to sell the building for and says the group is only soliciting offers through him, by phone. No posting has been made online through a traditional broker.
