"I mean, I was excited cause I thought maybe Macy's coming back,"
"But in general, it brightens up this area because I feel like downtown Brooklyn feels like a very historic place. This is just a nice addition to it."
"It's so important to activate our street, Fulton Street, for visitors, for shoppers,"
"We want commercial districts in the city to be places that New Yorkers can enjoy that provide jobs, and where small businesses can shine,"
A city-funded light installation titled "In Every Transition, A Pattern" now fills the long-vacant former Macy's building in Downtown Brooklyn with vibrant fuchsia and purple window lights. Masary Studios designed the display as part of a public realm grant program, one of 13 projects sharing just over $1 million to activate business districts citywide. City and business leaders emphasize the installation's role in driving foot traffic and supporting small businesses along Fulton Street. The illuminated shapes pulse to recorded neighborhood sounds, and residents welcome the brighter streetscape while anticipating future plans for the property.
