Breeze, the modern Sichuan and dim sum restaurant that launched in Greenpoint, has locked in a 15-year lease for a ground-floor flagship at 590 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn. The deal covers roughly 2,790 square feet on the ground floor plus a 779 square foot lower level, with reported 18 foot ceilings and about 80 feet of Fulton Street frontage, and the restaurant is expected to open in fall 2026.
Deal and representation
The lease was arranged by Lee & Associates NYC, with brokers Brad Schwarz and Zev Sonkin listed on the transaction, according to a press release reported by CityBiz. The release identifies Gotham Organization as the landlord and developer of the property at 590 Fulton Street and notes that, in the brokers’ telling, Breeze viewed the deal as a chance to plant a flagship in one of Brooklyn’s fastest developing submarkets.
Space and listing details
Commercial listings show the address marketed with spaces ranging from 779 to 2,790 square feet, and the Lee & Associates materials list Zev Sonkin and Brad Schwarz as the contact brokers, per Crexi. Building pages place the retail space at the base of the Ashland development at 590 Fulton Street, identified as a Gotham Organization project on StreetEasy, which aligns with the ownership and management details cited in the lease announcement.
What Breeze Brings To Fulton Street
Breeze currently operates at 595 Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, where it bills itself as a modern Sichuan restaurant with a dim sum menu, according to Breeze. The Fulton Street stretch in Downtown Brooklyn has been steadily courting new restaurants and retailers as fresh housing and office projects fill in around the corridor, a trend reflected in merchant listings and promotional efforts by the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership.
Timeline and what to expect
According to the broker release reported by CityBiz, Breeze is targeting a fall 2026 opening and is expected to take advantage of the site’s tall ceilings and broad Fulton Street frontage for expanded dining and sidewalk seating. The 15-year lease secures a long-term restaurant presence on a busy Fulton Street block at a time when landlords and operators are reworking storefronts to capture both local residents and commuters.
