A 10-story rooftop office tower is being added to the oldest part of Macy’s Brooklyn store at 418 Fulton St.
The 19th-century cast-iron building is being integrated with the new addition as part of a $279-million redevelopment of Macy’s by Tishman Speyer, according to Brownstoner.
The Second Empire building’s mansard roof has been removed, but it will eventually be placed back onto the building. The building was built in the 1870s, then purchased in 1881 by Abraham & Weschler, which later became Abraham & Straus.
