Century 21 Opens in Downtown Brooklyn

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — In a glimpse of what's to come to Downtown Brooklyn, clothing retailer Century 21 opened for business inside the City Point shopping complex on Tuesday.

The new two-story Century 21 store — located at 445 Albee Square West, off Fulton Street — opened for the first time on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at noon. Gifts valued up to $500 were handed out to the store's first 250 customers.

Target is planning to open at City Point later in 2016, while a 2017 opening is planned for a host of other businesses — including Trader Joes, the Austin-based Alamo Draft House Cinema, Han Dynasty and Fortina. Then there's the DeKalb Food Market, a 26,000-square-foot food market that will host over 50 vendors.

The City Point complex will also be home to three luxury high-rise apartment buildings, currently in the process of completion.

The new development is located a few blocks from the DeKalb Avenue subway station (B, D, N, Q and R trains) and the Fulton Street subway station (2 and 3 trains).
