With progress being made every day on the residential units at Fultonia, planning has begun on the ten commercial storefront spaces along Fulton Street. TFS Investments is already looking at adding a coin operated Laundromat in one of the spaces, so the Design-Build team at TYCO General, Inc. has submitted a conceptual plan for a coffee shop as an anchor tenant in an adjoining space.

The coffee shop conceptual plan was conceived to offer the SOTOW neighborhood with a place to enjoy high quality espresso-type coffees as well as specialty teas, fruit smoothies and more. Since Fulton is a heavily traveled street, especially with morning commuter traffic, having a coffee shop conveniently located will afford the public with a place to stop on their way to work each day. There is also a plan to have doors between the coffee shop and Laundromat so when local residents are washing clothes they can relax with a cup of coffee, tea or a soft drink.

The coffee shop will also offer an outdoor patio with market umbrellas, trees and lush landscaping.

For added convenience, the Laundromat may also become a drop-off/pick-up location for dry cleaning. A number of local dry cleaners offer this type of service and Fultonia is a logical location for Tower residents.

The goal is to create a safe, comfortable place where SOTOW residents can hang out and any comments from the public are welcome about the coffee shop, Laundromat or other potential uses for the remaining commercial storefronts. If you live within the Tower District, this is your neighborhood, so any ideas or comments will help guide the developer on potential merchants or offices needed in the area.
