Picturesque living on the Brooklyn waterfront; First look inside One Domino Square

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Saturday, March 30, 2024

Rendering of One Domino Square (Two Trees and Selldorf Architects)

While waterfront real estate is some of New York City's most coveted, regularly ranking among the top sales and highest-priced contracts, Brooklyn apartments along the East River enjoy the bonus of Manhattan skyline vistas along with peaceful river views. DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights have breathed new life into the local real estate markets, but Williamsburg is not to be counted out.

The redevelopment of the Domino Sugar Factory site is a key factor in the rise of the Williamsburg waterfront. Domino Park is going strong and gearing up for a busy spring season. Saga Hospitality Group recently signed a lease for a bakery and restaurant in The Refinery at Domino for its first Brooklyn location, set to open in late 2024. Finally, while a number of architecturally impressive buildings are currently leasing, the first condos are about to come to market: One Domino Square has risen on the parcel closest to the Williamsburg Bridge, and the condos on the top floors will enjoy spectacular bridge, water, and skyline views for it.

As we wait for the latest updates, we take a look at other recent and upcoming buildings on the neighborhoods' waterfront. For the Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, and Brooklyn Heights buildings now selling and leasing, some of their apartments offer front-row seats of the waterfront's revitalization, not to mention spectacular views of the skyline and access to some of the city's most manicured open spaces.

Rendering of One Domino Square (Selldorf Architects)

In an architecturally adventurous stretch of the Williamsburg waterfront, One Domino Square stands out for its iridescent porcelain-like facade that reflects the natural light. The two towers rest on a seven-story podium, and three floors of residential amenities are set to include a fitness center, aquatic suite, outdoor loggia, sports simulators, children’s playroom, and outdoor terrace with grills and outdoor pool.

In addition to spectacular waterfront views, the condo units are expected to feature ceilings up to 11 feet high, white oak flooring, oversized, operable windows with solar and blackout shades, in-unit laundry, and Wifi-enabled Nest thermostats. Kitchens will come in a choice of Warm and Cool palettes and offer fully integrated Gaggenau appliances. A sales launch is on the horizon with prices to start at $1.3 million for one-bedrooms, $2.225 million for two-bedrooms, and $3.06 million for three-bedrooms.

480-490 Kent Avenue

In 2010, the city approved a rezoning that would have allowed for a set of five residential towers to rise on the 2.3-acre Rose Plaza development site on the Williamsburg waterfront. The project hit several snags including, but not limited to, the Great Recession, the property's contamination with pollutants, and the untimely death of one of the developers. However, The Real Deal reported that Naftali Group entered contract to buy the site for a price between $180 and $185 million in February 2019. The developer received a construction loan to complete the project in November 2022, and construction is now underway.

Upon completion, the three-building project will include Naftali Group’s first Brooklyn condo offering; the rest of the units will be rentals. It is a short distance from the South Williamsburg ferry terminal, but will nevertheless include 256 parking spaces. Additional amenities are expected to include bike rooms, mail rooms, pet grooming stations, lounges, game rooms, and roof terraces. Work is taking place in phases, and the first phase’s completion is estimated for 2025.

In December 2021, the New York City Council unanimously approved the proposal for River Ring, which will transform the Williamsburg waterfront with a pair of striking mixed-use residential buildings, a public park with a circular esplanade, and a YMCA facility with a full-service community swim program. The sheer height of the new buildings will allow for spectacular neighborhood and river views, and the slope will make the most of them. 263 of the 1,050 new units will be permanently affordable at an average of 60% area median income.

Not only will the buildings take shape with resilient design features, but the center of this master plan is a resilient waterfront park with a new tidal basin, an expanded shoreline, berms, breakwaters, marshes, and wetlands. The project’s developers took inspiration from models used in the Netherlands, which has come to grips with rising waters.

16 Dupont Street

Developed by Rockefeller Group | Design by GKV Architects
41 stories | 380 units | Delivery estimated for 2025

Rendering of 16 Dupont Street (Rockefeller Group)

Construction has recently topped out at 16 Dupont Street, a new tower on the Greenpoint waterfront. The most recent renderings show a multi-story podium with stepped setbacks, a glassy, vertically striped facade, and a shallow setback near the top of the building. As part of the Affordable New York housing program, 114 units will be set aside for low- and middle-income New Yorkers. All apartments will have interiors by Brooklyn-based firm Workstead, and a curated amenity package is set to include a fitness center, a spa, coworking space, a children's playroom, a lounge with game room, and a rooftop pool with sky deck and interior lounge.

1 Java Street

Developed by Lendlease | Design by Marvel Architects
40 stories | 470 units | Delivery estimated for 2025

Rendering of 1 Java Street (Lendlease)

Construction is underway on 1 Java Street, a full-block development on the Greenpoint waterfront. While the 40-story height will unquestionably alter the local skyline, the project has garnered the most attention for its environmentally friendly features like an all-electric infrastructure and geothermal system; it will be New York’s largest project to use a geothermal heat exchange system to date. Information is not yet available about the interiors and amenities, but we can confirm that 30% of apartments have been designated as affordable housing.

Monitor Point

40 Quay Street
Developed by Gotham Organization | Design by FXCollaborative
38 stories | 900 units | Delivery estimate TBD

Rendering of Monitor Point (FXCollaborative)

In October 2021, developer Gotham Organization announced grand plans for 40 Quay Street, the Greenpoint waterfront site of the NYCT Mobile Wash Division: They call for a 40-story complex with 900 rental apartments (25% of which would be permanently affordable), new retail and commercial space, a new home for the Greenpoint Monitor Museum, a new facility for the NYCT’s Emergency Response Unit that would allow for construction on the long-awaited Box Park, and a waterfront promenade connecting Williamsburg and Greenpoint. The project is required to go through the city’s ULURP process; if all goes well, construction is anticipated to begin in late 2024.

25 Kent Avenue

Developed by Rubenstein Partners and Heritage Equity Partners | Design by Gensler Architects
8 stories | Delivered in 2019

25 Kent Avenue via Gensler Architects

With 500,000 square feet of space, 25 Kent Avenue is Williamsburg's largest ground up office development in recent history. The building encompasses an entire city block, and staggered floors create a ziggurat-esque silhouette. All office spaces feature 15' ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, flexible floor plates, and roof decks and terraces. It has counted 29Rooms and Smorgasburg among its temporary tenants, and streetwear brand KITH relocated its Noho headquarters into the third floor of the new building in 2019; a new store followed in spring 2023.

The Refinery at Domino - Thomas Havemeyer Building

The iconic Domino Sugar Factory has been the cornerstone of this section of the Williamsburg waterfront for over 100 years. While its historic architecture has been carefully restored, the factory interiors were gutted with the smell of sugar in the air and, according to Two Trees principal Jed Walentas, walls weeping molasses.

Upon completion of the demolition, a steel and glass office with a net-zero carbon infrastructure went up inside the space and opened in September 2023. Employees arrive to a triple-height atrium lobby, and the structure is topped with a glass dome penthouse with 360-degree river and skyline views.

Bushwick Inlet Park

On the cusp of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Bushwick Inlet Park demonstrates that Domino Sugar Refinery isn't the only onetime industrial area that can be transformed into something modern, eco-friendly, and beautiful. The heavily polluted oil tanks are gone, and the site is now home to a multipurpose sports field, a playground, and an environmentally friendly community center with a green roof. Plans are in the works to build a continuous Bushwick Inlet Park, and a pop-up park at 50 Kent Avenue is part of this effort.

500 Kent Avenue

Rendering of 500 Kent Avenue (Marvel Architects)

To the chagrin of local preservationists, a red brick building dating back to 1905 and used as a power generation system for Con Ed until 1999 was demolished in 2009. Soil remediation work has taken place, but the site has otherwise sat empty for years as the area around it blossomed. However, a partnership including Hampshire Properties acquired the site in March 2019. More recently, plans and preliminary renderings were revealed for a 23-story commercial tower with office space, retail space, an underground parking garage, and waterfront public space - what we have seen so far looks nothing like this onetime rendering (see below).

Before the project could break ground, it required major zoning amendments; additionally, the Department of City Planning found that despite Con Ed's environmental remediation efforts, the project would still have an adverse effect on the surrounding environment.
