Much of the Manhattan skyline comprises commercial buildings, and the Brooklyn waterfront is shaping up to hold some impressive offices of its own. At the beginning of the month, developers Heritage Equity Partners and Rubenstein Partners announced the completion of 25 Kent Avenue, Williamsburg’s first ground-up commercial development in over 50 years. Dock 72, a 16-story office building in Brooklyn Navy Yard, just opened as well. And most recently, Two Trees unveiled the first look at space in Ten Grand Street, a modern office building in the Domino Sugar Refinery redevelopment.
Ten Grand Street is connected to One South First, a mixed-used tower that recently opened and, in an environmentally friendly move, captures and reuses heat from its commercial neighbor. Like many new buildings in the Domino Sugar Refinery redevelopment, Ten Grand Street was designed by COOKFOX with a facade inspired by the molecular structure of sugar crystals, a nod to the site's past.

The towering building holds 18 single-occupant, 6,000-square-foot floors with 11’5” ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and only a single column per space. Each floor has fully finished baths, and companies have the option to connect adjacent floors. The building offers four elevators with destination dispatch system and outdoor recreation space.
Best of all, the offices look out on panoramic views of the East River, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Manhattan skyline, and the ongoing transformation of the Domino Sugar Refinery site. Domino Park opened to great acclaim last summer, and the nearby 325 Kent Avenue is almost completely leased. The sugar factory itself is being transformed into modern office space that still nods to its history.
