Bedford-Stuyvesant is in line for yet another mid-rise, with permits filed Monday for a six-story mixed-use building at 1189 Fulton Street in Brooklyn. Plans call for 11 residential units stacked above a compact commercial space on the ground floor, along with a cellar and a penthouse level.
According to New York YIMBY, the building would reach roughly 70 feet in height and span about 9,804 square feet of total floor area. Of that, about 9,397 square feet are slated for residential use and 403 square feet for commercial space. With an average apartment size near 854 square feet, the project is geared toward mid-sized rental units rather than ultra-compact micro-apartments.
Who’s behind the application
Property records on PincusCo indicate the lot changed hands in 2025 and include entries tied to demolition and development filings. PincusCo lists a demolition filing associated with Peng Liu and an ownership entry for L2 Development Partners LLC, pointing to fresh development activity behind the new application. Related permit history for the address also appears in records on PropertyShark.
Design and neighborhood context
The permit applications name Dezhang Fang of Fang Architect as the architect of record, and BuildZoom and professional licensing directories list Fang as an active New York architect. The site sits between Bedford Avenue and Spencer Place, a short walk from the Franklin Avenue subway complex, putting the future building on a heavily trafficked stretch of Fulton Street that has attracted steady developer interest in recent years.
Timeline and next steps
New York YIMBY notes that demolition permits were filed in December 2025. The permit log on PropertyShark shows a full-demolition entry dated July 3, 2025, suggesting multiple filings or updates tied to clearing the site. Neither source provides an estimated completion date, so the construction timeline remains an open question.
The proposal becomes part of a broader wave of permit activity along Fulton Street in Bed-Stuy, where new projects have been steadily filling in low-rise gaps. Neighbors should expect Department of Buildings paperwork, posted notices and the usual pre-construction signals if this development advances. As of now, city records and the permit filings do not show any affordable housing commitments or a projected finish date for the project.
