Development Watch: 525 Clinton Avenue Check-In
The 13-story condo development at 525 Clinton Avenue is looking great, we think, but it’s not exactly flying along.

The 13-story condo development at 525 Clinton Avenue is looking great, we think, but it’s not exactly flying along. As we’ve said before, we think this place’ll be a nice boost for the neighborhood—and hopefully help inspire more retail activity along this stretch of Fulton. (Speaking of which, when’s the Pequena gang going to get in gear on the old bodegas space that PACC awarded them last spring.) Anyhoozles, perhaps the slow pace has something to do with the special curtain wall that the developers are using on the exterior. One thing’s for sure, those upper floors are going to have some sweet views.

Yea, this place is so amazing that rats have already started moving in.
This construction is causing a huge rat infestation down the whole block. And no, its not due to trash being left on the block because the housing and health department make routine visitations. The rats have over-run the block so much that they routinely get run over by cars. So I hope that whoever posted about the wonders of this new building love living with the rats that come along with it.
Your new neighbors are waiting for you.
The Subway sandwich place has been reopened as a Subway. The old Bodegas signage is down and brown paper is up in the windows so it looks as if something is finally being done. Does anybody know what is happening at the old dance studio?
3:53, I am none of 3 you mentioned and Tish James has been very responsive and helpful to my family and a few of my friends.
Another reason I won’t vote for Tish again. If you are not dirt poor, a drug addict, or an evil developer you’re not on her radar.
Mr B.- Points for the use of ‘anyhoozle.’
I also would like to know where the other clinics are located aside from the Fulton and Waverly location. There was heavy discussion on the Brooklynian site regarding the methadone clinics.Tish James would have to revisit the topic if enough people voice their discontent.Also,in regards to businesses forming along the Fulton St. corridor between Vanderbilt and Classon Avenues,anyone know if there is anything slated for the Subways location? That spot seems to be blighted. A nice pastry /sandwich shop like TinyCup would work well there good foot traffic and all.That being said,I must say I welcome the changes taking place. Been waiting along time for progress.
Granted it was probably a year ago, but last we spoke to her about it she was trying to get the clinic moved by consolidating it with the other clinic that just on the other side of Fulton. People running the clinics weren’t exactly being cooperative, as we recall. There’s no reason she should be in favor of the clinic, as most of the people it serves are not her constituents. The commute to the clinic by subway and then loiter on the street.
i really hope that fulton starts to take off now with these condos happening. years ago i would have thought fulton would change quicker than myrtle, given the trains. but myrtle has changed remarkably in the last 2 years and is slated for even more significant changes, while fulton has languished. the only thing i can think is that the myrtle BID got started earlier, so hopefully fulton will get its due now with its BID.
Initially, I wasn’t too enthused about 525 Clinton – it seemed incongruous relative to the other beautiful historic residential buildings that line the nearby streets. That said, if 525 Clinton stimulates business development on Fulton Street, no-one will be happier than me! Surely the good folk that buy apartments at 525 Clinton will join me in agitating for a really decent supermarket/fresh produce store?
In a similar vein, there’s already signs of increased life on Fulton (despite the ongoing roadwork!), which warms my heart. Not only does work look like it’s proceeding on the old Bodegas space mentioned by Brownstoner, but it looks like development plans for the long-dormant Sharon’s Dance Theater space are moving ahead: a few days ago, I saw some sort of construction permit in the window. Huzzah!
