Fulton's new Underground.

The GVA Williams retail team is pleased to announce the completion of a lease transaction for the leading retail chain Underground Station and Lids. The retailers, both owned by Genesco, will open a 3,660 s/f flagship store at 460 Fulton St., in the heart of Brooklyn's shopping district. Selling the latest in footwear, apparel and accessories for both men and women, Underground Station specializes in cutting-edge styles and the latest name brands. Lids is the world's largest retailer of licensed and branded headwear.

Underground Station currently has 161 stores across the country. However, the Fulton Street store will be the traditionally mall-based retailer's first urban street store. Just steps away from Macy's, this highly visible space was previously occupied by Footaction and features five-story signage. Other retailers to recently open on Fulton Street include Zales, Forever 21 and Finish Line. The Underground Station store and Lids are currently under construction and will open in 2005.

Patrick Breslin, the head of GVA Williams' retail team, and Cristina Hawes, represented Genesco in this transaction. According to Breslin, "Fulton Street is the ideal location for Underground Station's first street store. The shopper demographics and significant foot traffic make this site a perfect fit for retail success."
