Customer Testimonials

Commercial Revitalization

Restoration is deeply committed to the physical and economic revitalization of the Bed-Stuy Gateway Business District (BID). The Business District, encompassing several blocks of Fulton Street and Nostrand Avenue, is Bedford-Stuyvesant's primary shopping and commercial area. As managing agent for the BID which became operational in 2009, Restoration oversees district-wide sanitation, maintenance, security, marketing and promotion, landscaping, beautification and day-to-day administration.

Restoration Plaza lies in the heart of this vibrant business area. We are transforming the physical and economic landscape of our community through ambitious renovations to this historic plaza. These improvements have created a more accessible, pedestrian-friendly and energy-efficient public space capable of sustaining—and even increasing—the 1.5 million annual visits to the Plaza and attracting quality businesses that meet community needs.

Many exciting developments are in progress in the heart of Bed-Stuy. The $9 million Fulton Street Streetscape project, with funding from the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the city Departments of Transportation and Parks and Recreation, was completed in 2017. Restoration staff is spearheading the creation of Marcy Plaza, an 8,000 sq. ft. recreational/commercial space soon to be located directly across from Restoration Plaza.
