Shell of Its Former Self, 925 Fulton Street For Sale
Poor 925 Fulton Street. This beautiful four-story building between Clinton and Waverly has been neglected for years, but is now getting another shot at life. After being in the same hands for more than three decades, the four-unit property traded back in 2005 for $200,000 and then again in 2007 for $953,000. According to the…
Poor 925 Fulton Street. This beautiful four-story building between Clinton and Waverly has been neglected for years, but is now getting another shot at life. After being in the same hands for more than three decades, the four-unit property traded back in 2005 for $200,000 and then again in 2007 for $953,000. According to the sign on the door, it’s for sale again. We tried calling the number (917-755-5461) but were unable to reach a human being. Does anyone know what the asking price is? How great would it be if someone would fix this place up. GMAP P*Shark
There have been many threads regarding Fulton Street from Vanderbilt to Classon and the need to develop it. As to the What’s contention that apathetic “newly transplanted A**hats” don’t support new business – I disagree. Good quality new places have survived over the past several years (Sister’s Hardware, Outpost, Kush, Olivino, Brown Betty, Cure Beauty Bar). Bodegas folded, due in large part to lease disputes at their other restaurant on DeKalb Avenue (the former Liquors) which lead to financial difficulties that caused both places to close.
I hope Au Tour du Monde in the former Bodegas place continues to survive (please support them! Their food is great and they have a full bar.) The street construction is not helping. Hopefully as that finishes and the BID gets into full swing with rubbish/trash removal and maybe street trees, it will become a more attractive stretch for pedestrians and new business.
I love these iron facade buildings. Restored (some of them are reasonably well taken care of) they would be a great visual landmark on this block of Fulton Street.
How is prophesizing doom and gloom not being bitter and twisted. If you see our economic future going down the drain (not an entirely impossible prospect obviously, as we all grapple with in our own way), suggest something to do about it (as you did above–I agree the Brownstoner should promote the Fulton corridor) rather than just rant and curse at everyone. That is bitter and twisted.
wasder…and then he slips right back into the same old crap!!!!
wasder.. One of these days you are going to say “What, you was right”.
“Welcome to the world of the not too bitter or twisted.”
I’m not a “Bitter or Twisted”. I see our economic future going down the drain.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
The What—“You know something Brownstoner Fulton St could benefit from this Blog. Why you don’t promote the business on Fulton St? There is plenty of upside for this stretch….”
You got up on the right side of the bed this morning. Welcome to the world of the not too bitter or twisted.
Finally something we can all agree with the What on!!! There should be some very serious effort to improving this stretch of Fulton. Everyone from every walk of life would benefit from this and there is no reason why it couldn’t/shouldn’t happen. The train line is there, there are lots of people in this area who need to buy stuff or socialize and have to go to Dekalb to get it. Since Brownstoner lives close by I am sure he would agree. The Outpost is amazing but its like a lone ranger out there right now.
what- you’ll love the Fulton St. post today then. 🙂
“ter being in the same hands for more than three decades, the four-unit property traded back in 2005 for $200,000 and then again in 2007 for $953,000.”
This is called a walk away flip…
BTW In the last 5 years Fulton St still looks like a hellhole…. The have been and will be failed businesses on Fulton St. Why you ask? Due to the greed and delusion of people decent business will never get of the ground. High rent and apathy among the newly transplanted Asshats will not spend money and help their new neighborhood.
You know something Brownstoner Fulton St could benefit from this Blog. Why you don’t promote the business on Fulton St? There is plenty of upside for this stretch….

The most amazing thing about this building is that the same ESPO tag and Stevie Wonder quote have been there since at least 2003.
