Can Al Laboz save Downtown Brooklyn retail?
Developers Albert Laboz and the Jackson Group are transforming the former Fulton Street Macy’s into BKX, a 440,000-square-foot retail and entertainment destination featuring experiential attractions.
United American Land and the Jackson Group have announced plans for BKX, a major redevelopment of the former Macy’s department store at 422 Fulton Street. The project aims to revitalize Downtown Brooklyn by introducing an entertainment-focused complex featuring a 90-foot LED atrium, fitness concepts, restaurants, and family attractions like bowling and arcades.
The developers seek to leverage the neighborhood’s high transit volume and the influx of luxury residential towers. By offering large-scale floorplates and "Instagrammable" moments, Laboz hopes to pivot the corridor away from discount retail toward a destination-based model similar to a smaller, urban version of the American Dream mall.
