Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Brooklyn's historic Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, the Restoration Plaza Garage (operated by Metropolis) at 1360 Fulton Street provides covered, multi-level indoor parking with professional attendant and valet services. Located on the south side of Fulton Street between Marcy Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue, the facility serves as an essential parking anchor within the iconic Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Plaza complex. Upon arrival, drivers are greeted by on-site garage attendants who manage vehicle intake, parking assignments, and prompt retrieval upon checkout.

Regarding vehicle clearance, the facility maintains a strict maximum vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 8 inches (6'8"). This clearance comfortably accommodates standard passenger sedans, compact hatchbacks, station wagons, minivans, and midsize crossovers. Most standard full-size passenger SUVs will clear the entrance, though oversize vehicle surcharges may apply. Vehicles exceeding 6'8"—such as lifted pickup trucks, high-roof commercial cargo vans (e.g., Ford Transit High Roof, Mercedes Sprinter), box trucks, and roof-rack-loaded campers—are strictly prohibited due to overhead structural infrastructure and ductwork.
