Flatbush Central is a Caribbean-themed marketplace and business incubator/accelerator featuring 30+ vendors of food, fashion, home goods, crafts and more. The original market, formerly known as Flatbush Caton Market (FCM), was established in 2000 as a haven for local street vendors to operate their micro enterprises in a supportive space. Since its founding, FCM has served as a key commercial and cultural institution in Flatbush, connecting entrepreneurs to financial and technical resources needed to formalize and grow their businesses. In 2015, Urbane was selected to redevelop FCM, preserving the market’s cultural roots and ensuring the continuity of legacy businesses. The resulting project, Flatbush Central, includes a rebuilt market space for legacy vendors; new food hall, bars and test kitchen; the Mangrove™ Accelerator, a comprehensive business incubator/accelerator with a shared commercial kitchen, a body care production lab, and design studio; and a public plaza – all co-located with Caton Flats, a 255-unit affordable housing development. This combined infrastructure will serve as a small business development hub and a connector to the broader ecosystem of business supports and market opportunities across NYC.
Flatbush Central Caribbean Marketplace is seeking a Market Coordinator to assist with the operations of the Caribbean themed multi-vendor marketplace.
