It’s been over a year since developer Joseph Brunner filed plans for an 11-story rental building with a grocery store at 1134 Fulton Street in Bedford–Stuyvesant. Tectonic swung by the site earlier this week, and the Key Food, Popeyes, and handful of small stores at the corner of Fulton and Franklin avenues have been mostly demolished.
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.
Last year, an investor closed on a huge commercial site next to the Franklin Avenue C train stop in Bed Stuy for $19,500,000, sparking questions about the future of several storefronts on the busy corner. Now, plans have surfaced for an eight-story, 119-unit building on the property at 1134 Fulton Street, designed (of course) by Karl Fischer.
