History
Fulton Street’s first period of great vigor occurred before the era of enclosed shopping malls, the era when huge department stores like Abraham & Strauss, Frederick Loeser & Co. and A.I. Namm & Son reigned on the street. The current era dates from the 1970s, when through the persistent efforts of the street’s merchants, the city agreed to a revitalization program through which it would narrow the roadway, widen the sidewalk, and create, with the exception of buses, a traffic-free shopping area.

Developments
Fulton Mall includes major retailers such as
The Macy's store at 422 Fulton Street was originally Abraham & Straus's flagship store. The building was designed in Art Deco style by Starrett & Van Vleck and built in 1933.[16] It was formerly the showroom for the W.C. Vosburgh Mfg. Co.[17] As of 2017, the building is undergoing a $194 million renovation by Tishman Speyer. Its new portion will have 10 floors dedicated to Class A office space. Macy's is also renovating its part of the building.[18]
The Offerman Building on Fulton Mall was built in 1893 by Henry Offerman, a businessman in the sugar industry. It was designed in the Romanesque Revival architectural style and originally hosted retail on the ground floor.[19] The Offerman Building was designated a New York City Historic Landmark in 2005,[20] and by 2017 had been converted into a 121-unit residential complex.[19]
