A change may be coming to the heart of Central Brooklyn: The historic Restoration Plaza is set to be torn down and rebuilt as a brand-new business, art, and tech hub.
A multi-million-dollar rebuilding of the one-time Bed Stuy HQ of community stalwarts like Rabbi Bill Tate and Sonny Abubadika Carson and his Committee to Honor Black Heroes has been announced by the site’s landlord, the Restoration Corporation.
Marlon Rice, director of event services, Asset Management Division, is a longtime Bed Stuy resident who grew up three blocks from Restoration Plaza. “I think the plans for Restoration’s new campus are inspiring and frankly much needed,” she said. “The Plaza has always been and is to this day a beloved gathering place for the community.
Last month, developers revealed sketches and plans to reimagine the Fulton Street/Harriet Ross Tubman Avenue block as home to the “Restoration Innovation Campus, a global hub dedicated to closing Brooklyn’s racial wealth gap.” Generations of family members know Restoration as the heartbeat of the community: from the old Pathmark to great annual residential events, from art at the Skylight Gallery to mega stars and up-and-coming actors and poets, dancers, and singers at the Billie Holiday Theater.
