Two Karl Fischer Apartment Buildings Coming to Fulton Street in Bed Stuy

A really big mixed-use development is coming to Fulton Street near Tompkins in Bed Stuy. Architect Karl Fischer will design two six- and seven-story apartment buildings with ground floor retail there. The seven-story development at 1428-1430 Fulton Street will have 74 units and 11,744 square feet of ground floor commercial space, according to new building applications filed today. On the second floor, there will be 1,137 square feet of indoor recreation space and a 4,400-square-foot outdoor terrace, per Schedule A filings. There will also be 49 subterranean parking spaces and 22 bike storage spots.

The property, pictured above, is currently home to a three-story building for “public assembly,” or banquet hall, according to PropertyShark.

The second, six-story building will rise on the other side of the block at 293 Herkimer Street. That building will include 10 units spread across 11,965 square feet, along with an outdoor courtyard, indoor recreation space and 17 bike storage spaces.

Permits show that the owner is Moses Strulowitz of CS Real Estate (incidentally, he’s the brother-in-law of murdered developer Menachem Stark). He also purchased two neighboring properties at 1426 and 1432-1438 Fulton Street for $11,000,000 last February, according to public records. No. 1426 is home to a storefront with two floors of apartments over it. The other property is the empty lot pictured above, which goes all the way through to the other side of the block.

No demolition permits have been filed yet. GMAP
