A housing lottery launched this week for 120 middle-income apartments at the rental portion of One Domino Square, part of the Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment in Williamsburg. The first residential project designed by architect Annabelle Selldorf, One Domino Square consists of a 39-story building with 160 condos and a 55-story building with nearly 400 rental units, the latter of which is the tallest tower in the neighborhood. The affordable apartments will be available through a lottery to New Yorkers earning 125 and 130 percent of the area median income; apartments are priced from $2,832/month for studios to $4,415/month for two bedrooms.
Developed by Two Trees Management and designed by Selldorf Architects, the tower is the tallest building in the borough outside of Downtown Brooklyn. The 55-story tower is the rental component of One Domino Square, while the second tower, standing at 39 stories, features 160 condo units.
The two towers are connected by a seven-story podium featuring 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 45,000 square feet of amenities across five floors.
One Domino Square officially opened earlier this month after launching sales in April for the condos, priced from $1,250,000, and starting leasing in May, with rentals from $4,495/month.
Shared with the condominium residences, amenities include an aquatics center with a heated indoor swimming pool, a cold plunge, a steam room, a sauna, a hydrotherapy spa, poolside private showers, dedicated locker rooms, and treatment rooms.
Additionally, there is a health club and fitness center with a group fitness movement studio and a yoga studio.
The building features a variety of social and entertaining spaces, including residents lounges with fireplaces, a media room with a wet bar, a coffee bar, a library lounge, an open-air solarium, and a social lounge with table games like billiards, table tennis, and foosball.
Co-working spaces with dedicated WiFi, library seating, group work rooms, and private conference booths are also available.
One Domino Square features three terraces, one with a landscaped lounge, a heated outdoor pool, and a sundeck overlooking Domino Park, and another with a central lawn and eight semi-private entertaining areas with furniture and grills.
Residents will have access to dedicated bike storage space, a 24-hour front desk concierge, and a package room with cold storage. The building opens onto the one-acre Domino Park, a new public plaza designed by landscape architecture firm Field Operations that opened last month.
One Domino Square is situated on the southern edge of the 11-acre Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment in Williamsburg.
The first structure to open was the SHoP Architects-designed 325 Kent Avenue, a unique donut-shaped rental tower. Domino Park opened in the summer of 2018, followed by a 45-story mixed-use tower, One South First, and Ten Grand Street, in 2019.
In September 2023, the developers unveiled The Refinery at Domino, a world-class all-electric office building housed within the former Domino Sugar Factory plant. The project has transformed what was once the largest sugar producer in the world into an all-electric office space.
Qualifying New Yorkers can apply for the apartments until December 10, 2024. Complete details on how to apply are available here. Preference for 20 percent of the apartments will be given to residents of Brooklyn Community District 1.
Questions regarding this offer must be referred to NYC’s Housing Connect department by dialing 311.
