Condos May Replace Bargains-R-Us on Fulton St.

Today the Bargains R Us store at 976 Fulton Street, at Grand, is closing and moving to Myrtle and Vanderbilt Avenues. A tipster tells us the space will be converted to a condo building with medical space, as tall as five stories. No change of hands has hit public records and no permits have been filed yet with the Department of Buildings. The store employee we spoke with didn’t have any information either. But if it plays out it will be a significant addition to Fulton Street, considering the assisted-living project and the Karl Fischer building both under construction between Putnam Avenue and Fulton Street. There goes the parking! GMAP
