In May, YIMBY reported on filings for an eight-story, 119-unit mixed-use building at 1134 Fulton Street, in southwestern Bedford-Stuyvesant, and now Brownstoner has the Karl-Fisher-designed reveal. The building will actually be 11 stories, and an affordable housing component will boost the number of residential units to 189. Commercial space will measure nearly 18,500 square feet, where a grocery store is expected. Joseph Brunner is developing, and an existing two-story building must first be demolished.

I’m a tenant at 523-525 Franklin ave which is the same property as 1134 Fulton st, the reason for my email is to inform you that the reason no demolitions permit were filed to build this big project is because I have a 8 years left on my lease. I opened up my restaurant in 2014 it’s called Marrakech Door and I also have a partner who is a retired veteran and we put our life savings into this place and now the new owner wants to throw us out but he can’t due to my remaining years on the lease. The landlord who’s name is Porter Ave Holdings, LLC already took 14 out of 16 tenants to court and threw them out and the Popeyes on the corner received a very large buyout I’m hearing the amounts between $650,000 & $800,000 according to conversations I had with the owners. I’m left for last and me and my lawyer are being told they will put beams through our restaurant and build around us which is illegal and idiotic but I just want the people to know the game and manipulative tactics that are being used on hard workers such as my partner and I so ya the developers are building a better Brooklyn but at the same time they are exterminating hard working business owners who are trying to make a living!!
