Landmarks OKs $1.5B Domino Sugar project

The Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously approved Two Trees Management’s $1.5 billion Domino Sugar Refinery project today, though the developer will need to make some additional revisions to its design.
Two Trees vowed to alter the project to account for the commission’s concerns about the visibility of glass rooftop features. Articulation was will be added to the façade, making the mechanical additions more visible and making a few changes to the chimney to make it more prominent from the east, a source told The Real Deal.
The commission had said last month it would not support the architecture firm Beyer Blinder Belle’s proposed designs if Two Trees did not make those changes.
“I’m delighted that this sensitive adaptive reuse project will restore life to this iconic building on the Brooklyn waterfront,” Robert Tierney, Landmarks chair and commissioner, said in a statement.
