A new retail space called BKX is set to replace a Macy’s that once stood on Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The beloved Macy’s closed its doors in March of 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For shoppers like Delphine Parson, it wasn’t just saying goodbye to a store, but also years of memories shopping there.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 6, 8 years old. So that’s 57 years. I’m 65 now. And so that’s 57 years I’ve been going there, since I was a little girl,” said Parson.<\/p>\n

Since the closure, it’s sat empty. Ikenna Warner says it’s a noticeable void on busy Fulton Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cPut something else here, like a perfume store, food court, anything else so it don\u2019t look dead like this. It\u2019s sad that it\u2019s gone now, but something better’s going to come,” said Warner.<\/p>\n

Joshua Strauss, president of Dreamscape Retail and Entertainment, says construction is underway on BKX, a six-story retail and entertainment complex set to replace the Macy’s.<\/p>\n

“It will be full of fun, immersive experiences, food and beverage, retail, wellness, all under one roof, which is something New York hasn’t seen in a very long time,” said Strauss.<\/p>\n

Many people tell News 12 the Macy’s was a community staple. Strauss says the project will deliver to the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will come from all over the world to come see what we’re putting on here,” said Strauss.<\/p>\n

Dreamscape Retail says more details on tenants and experiences are coming soon. The project is expected to open in late 2027 into 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new retail space called BKX is set to replace a Macy’s that once stood on Fulton Street…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-290830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
