A new redevelopment proposal for Thor Equities’ Revere Sugar Refinery in Red Hook is the biggest yet for the site.

Magnusson Architecture and Planning recently put together a feasibility study for the site. The resulting plan calls for a 1.7-million square-foot mixed-use development, including 900 apartments, 250,000 square feet of retail and 400,000 square feet of parking on the former factory’s footprint, according to Curbed.
