Downtown Brooklyn’s skyline is continuing to evolve with the imminent completion of 625 Fulton Street, a striking 35-story residential skyscraper. Standing at an impressive 500 feet, this building, the 18th tallest in our year-end construction countdown, is set to become a prominent fixture in the Fulton Street Brooklyn area. Developed by Rabsky Group and financed with $450 million from Madison Realty Capital, 625 Fulton Street promises to bring a significant number of rental units and commercial space to the neighborhood.
Designed by Fischer Rasmussen Whitefield Architects, the building at 625 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, also known as 485 Hudson Avenue, occupies a substantial footprint bordered by 80 Dekalb Avenue, Fulton Street, Rockwell Place, and Hudson Avenue. This prime location places it at the heart of Downtown Brooklyn, offering future residents easy access to the vibrant Fulton Street corridor and surrounding amenities.
The exterior of 625 Fulton Street has seen rapid progress, with its distinctive basket-weave façade now almost entirely enclosing the structure. Recent photos reveal the full extent of this unique architectural element on both the eastern and western sides of the building’s two wings. The northern and southern elevations present a contrast, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass complemented by private balconies. Even the mechanical bulkheads on the roof are nearing completion, signaling the final stages of exterior work on this Fulton Street Brooklyn development.
