New public plaza Domino Square opens on the Williamsburg waterfront

The Domino Sugar Factory site in Williamsburg gained more park space this week. Domino Square, a one-acre public plaza between the new condo One Domino Square and the office building The Refinery at Domino, has officially opened. Designed as a civic space by landscape architecture firm Field Operations, the new plaza offers community events and programming year-round, from salsa nights and farmers markets to an ice skating rink, the first to ever open on Williamsburg’s waterfront.

As the final piece of Domino Park, which opened in 2018, the new space measures 33,000 square feet, or about a full city block, according to developer Two Trees Management.

Domino Square features a bowl-like interior with a lifted edge with plantings and tiered seating. The southwest corner offers more intimate seating shaped by raised planting beds, along with a new overlook facing the rest of the park and the Williamsburg Bridge.

Studio Casdena designed a retail arcade made from a series of cast-in-place concrete piers along the street edge that frame the spaces and create entry points to the park.

^ cool beans if its open now -- i want to check that out soon.

any news on when and if we are getting the big boi here just to the north of the sugar plant? is that plan still on the table at least??

That's parcel B, so last phase. Likely right after Building D is complete, as they've bee completing each parcel and than moving on to the next.

Would make sense too as they completed the waterfront plaza, and than separate the zone from everything else and work on building B (the big one).

hmm, yes they have been steadily moving forward one parcel at a time.

good to hear there is still hope for it yet to come. the coupe de grace.

One Domino Square debuts on the Williamsburg waterfront

Two Trees Management has announced the debut of One Domino Square, located on the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn.

The project, which sits near the Williamsburg Bridge at 8 South 4th Street, is the first residential skyscraper by Selldorf Architects, and consists of interconnecting 55- and 39-story tower clad in porcelain tiles.

“The completion of One Domino Square is a joyful event for us. Seeing the residential high rise completed with its strong presence on the skyline and yet nimbly connecting and contributing to the surrounding park and to the streets on the ground is meaningful,” said Annabelle Selldorf in a news release. “Large windows maximize views and bring the ever-changing sky into both homes and amenity spaces. The unique views across Williamsburg and the river are truly immersive from every location and direction in the building.”
