490 Fulton Facade Reaches Completion

The scaffolding has come down at 490 Fulton Street, and the renovation of the Fulton Mall building is looking just about complete (from the outside, anyway). Following the announcement that Filene’s/Sym’s filed for bankruptcy protection, there’s been no word about what’s going to become of the 40,000 square feet the retailer was supposed to take at 490 Fulton, but an Express is slated to open in the building this spring. On the jump, a photo of what the property looked like last fall, before the renovation began.
