Bed-Stuy Gateway and the Fulton-Nostrand Revitalization Project

T-Mobile Set to Land at 1218-D Fulton Street

We knew it was going to happen. Hot on the heels of the news of SprintPCS's opening in the Bed-Stuy Gateway is this rumor which has since been confirmed of T-Mobile's entry into Central Brooklyn. T-Mobile is going to set up a company shop at 1218 Fulton Street, at the intersection of Arlington Place, in a double-wide space currently half-occupied by Gentleman's Quarters.

Gentleman's Quarter's is set to close shop by the end of June 2006 and T-Mobile will reportedly take over the space the next day and begin build-out of the store that will occupy the Gentleman's Quarter's space and the vacant storefront next door.

More Pizza For Sale: 1427 Fulton Street

King Pizza, no relation to the Burger King, is also abdicating his real estate throne at 1427 Fulton Street across from Super Foodtown and Restoration Plaza, making this the second house of pizza to go on the market in our neck of the woods.

The sale includes the pizza shop and all the accoutrements therein, and the land, all 1,980 square feet of it (the lot is 18'x110), all for an asking price of $800,000 - just ask the guy who answers the listed number: (917) 584-9126

We think this might be a job for...Curbed Pricechopper.

This side of Fulton Street however, isn't looking so attractive and appealing for a small business lately. There's the building with the green siding to the left which has been vacant for a while and doesn't really present a pretty face, and the building with the white siding to the right, which is maintained only marginally better than the green building, and which to us seems to have a rotating assortment of temporary businesses save for a few exceptions (The Gospel Den and the Fish Market among them). It looks to us like this block is ripe for something big to happen?

Susan's Collection, Out - Cozy Boutique, In

Another business bites the dust, but it is quickly replaced.
Susan's Collection, located at 1325 Fulton Street, closed shop for good just this week. But as soon as it vacated its storefront, another small women's clothing shop, Cozy Boutique, quickly took its place. We wish Cozy Boutique sucess on Fulton Street, but seriously wish they could have entered the district as a better neighbor and didn't go with the oversized blue awning (not to mention in violation of city regulations) that workers began installing today.

For Lease - Newly Remodeled Fulton Street Retail Space

Nubian Heritage Bed-Stuy didn't quite make it to its 1-year anniversary on Fulton Street before the owners decided it was time to throw in the towel and close shop.  It is too bad that the store wasn't able to succeed.  When they moved in, Nubian Heritage completely remodeled and built out the store's interior quite attractively, adding a quality retailing presence that is needed on Fulton Street and Nostrand Avenue.  Now, Bed-Stuy residents have to go to downtown Brooklyn to get their Nubian Heritage produced shea and cocoa butters. 

The departure of Nubian Heritage creates a rare opportunity for a new business owner.  Located at 1331 Fulton Street, the retail space is located in a prime spot in the Fulton-Nostrand business district.

Details about the space:

• 40'(street frontage) x 60'(depth): Approximately 2,400 square feet
• Triple Net Lease
• New 10-year lease desired
• Space has central air, heat, fully renovated (see photos).  Tenant simply has to build out the storefront and customize the interior space.
• Prohibited business categories: Ladies' Shoes, Gold/Jewelry Store, Hardware Store, Electronics Store,
• Desired business categories: Sit-down coffee-shop or cafe, full-service restaurant, video rental service

Annual Rent approx: $40-45 psf
