Domino Sugar Factory In South Williamsburg

Site E at Two Trees Management’s redevelopment of the Domino Sugar Factory in South Williamsburg topped out yesterday. Located at 325 Kent Ave, the 16-story residential building, designed by SHoP Architects, is expected to cost $200M and will bring 500 rental units to the market, 105 of which will be affordable. The marketing of the affordable units will begin in January, and residents will begin moving in next summer, Two Trees says.

Two Trees’ full plan for the Domino site includes a new esplanade and more than six acres of new parkland that will connect South Williamsburg to the waterfront. The Refinery building will be reactivated, tripling Williamsburg’s commercial space. Two Trees is also promising more than 2,800 units, 700 of which will be affordable. Totaling 600k SF of office space and 200k SF of community and retail space, the redevelopment’s expected to take six to eight years to complete.

The factory stopped operating in 2004, after running for 148 years, and was given landmark status in 2007.
