Fulton Street is trading parked cars for people. Nearly 300 new apartments are rising where the Brooklyn Gardens nursing home once stored its cars, as a pair of 11-story towers reshapes the block between Herkimer Street and Fulton in Bed-Stuy.
One of the towers has already topped out, while crews are still down in the dirt on the second, excavating foundations for what will soon be another mid-rise slab on the skyline.
Project details
Building permits show an 11-story structure at 1826 Fulton Street with 213 apartments, alongside a second 11-story building with 84 apartments, for a total of 297 units. The larger tower is planned with stepped terraces on its upper floors. Filings list 52 income-restricted apartments in the bigger building and 17 in the smaller one. Those permit and construction details were reported by Brooklyn Paper.
Site history and ownership
City tax and assessment records identify Providence Care Inc. as the owner of the parcel, according to NYC Finance. Those public records also show the lot sold in 2014 for roughly $27 million and trace the site's ownership history and subsequent reassignment in recent filings.
Developer, financing and design
Permits list LM Developments as the developer, with Yisroel Landau, also known as Jacob Landau, appearing as a signatory on project documents. A property-finance report states that Landau and Pinches Abowitz arranged a roughly $52 million construction loan for work on the block in 2025, according to PincusCo. Project drawings credit J Frankl Architects with the design.
What neighbors should expect
Under existing zoning rules, the two 11-story buildings can be constructed as-of-right. The nursing home will keep a smaller parking and drop-off area at its Herkimer Street entrance, even as most of its former surface lot is built over.
In the meantime, neighbors are in for the usual construction side effects: more truck traffic, staging on the street, and plenty of noise as crews wrap up foundation work and move into full superstructure construction. Active building work is expected on the block over the next year. The project and its permit details were outlined in reporting and public filings, as covered by Brooklyn Paper.
