New York Megaproject-Brooklyn’s Domino Sugar Factory

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : New York City was once a major manufacturing center. Much of its industrial base was focused on food products and other needs of its massive population. One of its most prominent factories was the Domino Sugar Refinery in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, along the East River. Once the world's largest sugar refinery, the factory ceased operations in the early 2000's. Today, as you'll see in this drone video by Odessa1799, it's being redeveloped into an office/residential complex.

The Domino Sugar Factory, at one time the largest sugar refiner in the country, producing over 50% of total sugar consumption, is being converted to an urban campus in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It will adorn Brooklyn’s waterfront with 2,800 apartments, 600,000 square feet of office space, 200,000 square feet of community and retail space, and 6 acres of parks and open spaces. Dominating the waterfront near the Williamsburg Bridge at 292-314 Kent Avenue, the project affords panoramic views of Brooklyn, the East River, and Manhattan’s skyline. The eleven-acre site is an ideal location for trendy Millennials and artists who’ve fled Manhattan in recent years and will be served by the development’s nearly 700 affordable residential units.
