First announced in 2019, the project spans a block of Fulton Street between Brooklyn Avenue to the east and New York Avenue to the west. Plans call for the construction of three buildings featuring approximately 840,000 square feet of offices, educational, cultural, and commercial space.
While the project would roughly double the size of the existing 1970s structures at Restoration Plaza, the property's namesake open space would be retained by building up, rather than out.

According to Urbanize NYC, the Restoration Plaza development will include two 13- and 16-story mixed-use structures separated by a 4-story community building to house art galleries, a dance studio, and other cultural spaces. This will be Adjaye Associates’ next New York project, after 130 William, the Carriage House, the Studio Musem in Harlem, the Sugar Hill Mixed-Use Housing Development (also in Harlem), and the 2015 Pitch Black office and studio space project for artist Lorna Simpson.
"We want this to be the tech hub of Central Brooklyn that’s very similar to downtown Brooklyn, that’s very similar to the Navy Yard," Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation CEO Blondel Pinnock told THE CITY. Current estimates are for an eight-year construction timeline.
