Though most of the project’s sites are either complete or under construction, two have yet to break ground. In all, when completed, the megaproject will include 2,800 rental units across four residential buildings (700 of which will be affordable), 200,000 square feet of retail, and 600,000 square feet of commercial space. Following a residential rezoning of the area in 2010, Two Trees bought the site in 2012 with plans to transform it into a larger megaproject.Īt a tour of the site last week, Jed Walentas, principal of Two Trees, said that it was top of mind to choose different architects for each of the buildings, in order to bring different aesthetics and perspectives to the area. The 11-acre megaproject, developed by Two Trees, includes Domino Park, four new buildings, and a total renovation of the interiors of the 138-year-old Domino Sugar Refinery, which closed in 2004 and became a city landmark in 2007. Megaprojects are going up all over New York City, and though many of them are in Manhattan (see: Hudson Yards, Manhattan West) the Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment, located along the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn, is also making steady progress.
