An eight-story mixed-use building will replace the former Elks Lodge building at 1068 Fulton Street near Classon Avenue in Bed Stuy, next to the Clinton Hill border. Architect Nataliya Donskoy filed a new building application yesterday for an eight-story, 41-unit development on the 5,900-square-foot site.
The project will have 4,796 square feet of ground floor retail, a rec room, roof terrace and 21 underground bike storage spots, according to Schedule A filings. Demolition applications have been filed but not yet approved for the existing building.
A Building of the Day last year, the apartments were originally built as row houses in the 1870s, and a black chapter of the Elks began meeting there in the 1920s, eventually attracting more than 1,000 members.

Wow, lots of new buildings going up on this part of Fulton. Goodwill building will be demolished and replaced with a new commercial building soon as well. The huge corner lots on Fulton and Franklin, which hosts Pop eye and former key food for years will also be completely vacated end of this year, and will be replaced by a large tall condo building. 2 other large condos on Classon off Fulton are almost finished, one being 535 classon ave and the other right across the street . The rental at 482 franklin ave is pretty much finished, move ins may be on the horizon.
482 franklin ave is partly affordable rentals. The other ones are all condos I think. Goodwill building is only commercial and “community facilities”, not sure what that means.
