WILLIAMSBURG — It appears from a Department of City Planning (DCP)
document that the Domino Sugar factory development could well be the
largest single mixed-use project along the Williamsburg waterfront and
the second largest — next to Atlantic Yards — proposed for Brooklyn.
First reported on the blogs curbed.com, gothamist.com and brownstoner.com on Tuesday, the DCP Scope of Work document was placed online in advance of a public scoping meeting on the rezoning of the site set for Tuesday, July 31.
Although the central refinery structure will remain — it is being considered for landmarking, as reported in the Brooklyn Eagle last week — it appears as though additional floors will be built on top of it.
On either side of it, nine new residential buildings are to be constructed on the waterfront portion of the property, between Grand Avenue and South 5th Street, and six new residential buildings will be constructed on property east of Kent Avenue, between South 3rd and South 4th streets.
Two of those along the waterfront could be as high as 300 feet, comparable to a 30-story building, and two could be as high as 400 feet, or a 40-story building, according to the DCP document.
East of Kent, the buildings would be 90 and 140 feet tall.
Also, according to the document, a waterfront esplanade will be constructed the full length of the site with access in at least six places between the new buildings; a floating pier for future water taxi service is planned; and, in addition to an estimated 2,400 apartments (with a portion designated as affordable), approximately 120,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, 100,000 square feet of community facility space, 1,450 parking spaces and additional open space are planned on the 11-acre site.
A spokesperson for the developers, Community Preservation Corporation Resources Inc. and The Katan Group, organized as The Refinery LLC, told the Eagle yesterday that details and architectural renderings of the proposed project would not be available until next week.
As previously reported, the developers have said they are in favor of the proposal by the Landmarks Preservation Commission to landmark the three buildings that comprise the actual refinery. The July 31 Public Scoping Meeting will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 8:45 p.m. at DCP, 22 Reade St. in Manhattan.
