## **[New Renderings: Domino Redevelopment](https://www.newyorkyimby.com/2014/01/new-renderings-domino-redevelopment.html)** BY: NIKOLAI FEDAK ON JANUARY 27TH 2014 AT 12:00 PM ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/1X/b0d8a71d0e9c376bcdca7a368fcb00d9322ea0c6.jpg) _Domino Redevelopment, 2 Grand Street at far left – image from SHoP_ > New renderings have been revealed in an Environmental Impact Statement for Two Trees‘ Domino Redevelopment in Williamsburg, which will bring dramatic changes to the Williamsburg waterfront. The project is enduring the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure for a second time after Vinoly’s vision was tabled and the site traded hands; approval for the new SHoP-designed proposal seems likely, although several steps remain before construction can begin. > SHoP has several major projects in the works, but the firm’s plans for Domino will be especially high-impact. The site will have five structures overall, and each of the buildings will feature components arranged in creative ways; besides the old factory, which will be renovated and expanded, the actual towers will push and re-define new development in New York City. _Domino Redevelopment — image from SHoP_ > Domino’s skyscrapers will vary in height; the factory’s addition will bring it to 16 floors, and the shortest of the new buildings will stand 17 stories. All of the other towers will be over 40 floors, with the tallest — within ‘Site D’ — rising 565 feet. _Domino Redevelopment — image from SHoP_ > The entirety of the project will add over three million square feet of mixed-use space to the Williamsburg waterfront, with the bulk of the development dedicated to residential. Changes between the SHoP and Vinoly’s plans include a small decrease in housing units, and a major increase in office space; the revised scope calls for 2,282 apartments, and approximately 500,000 square feet of offices, in addition to 115,000 square feet that will be dedicated to retail and a health club. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/1X/31b0ddb2262db25b42616a2ea841b26de0247415.jpg) _Domino Redevelopment — image from SHoP_ > SHoP’s vision is a major improvement compared to the previous scheme, reducing parking by 644 spots, and adding an additional two acres of open space. Besides its better layout, the aesthetics and creativity of SHoP’s plan will be additional draws; for the first time, Brooklyn will have buildings on its skyline that are distinct and iconic. > The full plan’s build-out is unlikely until the 2020s, but once ULURP is completed, construction on the first 42-story residential tower can begin. ---

But the breakthrough came only after negotiations nearly collapsed. Later, Mr. Walentas and his father, David, publicly accused city officials of overplaying their hand at the bargaining table and risking derailing the entire project. Now, however, those disputes have been largely forgotten. > “Certainly we said things to the newspaper we shouldn’t have said as an organization, and I think both sides probably think they could have conducted themselves better—we certainly do,” Mr. Walentas said in an interview with Crain’s. “But we have a good relationship with City Hall and the mayor’s office, and like any relationship, sometimes you do things you wish you hadn’t, but you move on and go forward.” > Since then, the two sides have shifted gears and are now working in relative harmony, as evinced by the 500-unit rental building soon to rise on the inland side of Kent Avenue. The 16-story, SHoP \*Architects-designed tower, with a large cutout in the middle, will include 105 apartments for low-\*income residents, plus ground-floor retail space. It is scheduled to open in two years. ---

Great news. Many 1000’s of units will come online along the East River. Its adding a nice effect for the skyline, plus revitalizing once port/industrial districts. ---
