Construction Update: One Domino Square at 346 Kent Avenue

Curtain wall installation is nearing completion at Two Trees’ One Domino Square, a two-tower residential development at 346 Kent Avenue that anchors the southern edge of the Domino Sugar development in Williamsburg. Designed by Selldorf Architects, the project massing includes a 7-story podium with 39 and 52-story towers rising above. The project will offer 700,000 square feet of space divided among residential rental and condo units and ground floor retail. Units will be offered in a range that includes studios, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedrooms. Residents of both towers will have access to shared indoor and outdoor amenities such as terraces, lounge areas, fitness, a wellness center and pools.

The towers are clad in a curtain wall of iridescent porcelain tile panels with large glass openings, while the podium is clad in granite with acid-etched glass spandrels and taller glass openings.

Construction Update: Domino Sugar Refinery

Construction is wrapping up at the adaptive reuse of the Domino Sugar Refinery, the 1876 structure by Henry Havemeyer that was part of the original three buildings for the filtering, panning, and finishing of sugar. Designed by PAU, the refinery will be converted into a 460,000 square foot office building as part of developer Two Trees’ Domino Sugar mixed use development. A new structure has been constructed inside of the original Refinery envelope, with a 10 to 12 foot gap in between the existing masonry walls and the curtain wall. Interiors for the project were led by Dencityworks and Bonetti/Kozerski.

Tour: 1 South 1st Street / 10 Grand Street

West facade from the East River.

Construction has wrapped up at One South First (formerly 260 Kent), the second residential tower of the Domino Sugar master plan. Designed by COOKFOX Architects, the 42-story tower is located at the northern boundary of Domino Park. Along with 330 residential rental units, the mixed-use building also contains 22 commercial floors with 150,000 square feet of office space and 13,000 square feet of retail, known as Ten Grand Street.

Southwest corner.

COOKFOX was inspired by the molecular structure of sugar crystals for the design of the precast concrete panels that clad the exterior. The molds for the panels were 3D printed using the same BIM model developed for the design and documentation of the building.
