Domino delivers the past

From the December issue: Developers of the Domino Sugar Refinery
residential project are betting that condo buyers will want to pay top
dollar to live next door to the iconic Domino Sugar sign in the shadow
of the Williamsburg Bridge. They’ll be neighbors with a remnant of
Brooklyn’s industrial past because parts of the Domino factory, which
processed sugar for 123 years before closing in 2004, will live on
after the building was declared a historic landmark in September. The
old refinery will be part of an ambitious $1.2 billion, 10-year
residential development project.
