Clinton Hill-based eatery Mekelburg’s recently signed on as the anchor retail tenant in the building, which is scheduled to open in July.
Two Trees [TRDataCustom] also broke ground on the site’s second residential building, 260 Kent which will have 330 rental units, more than 20 percent of which will be set aside as affordable housing.
When complete, the $3 billion Domino Sugar project will comprise 2,800 residential units and 500,000 square feet of commercial space. – Rich Bockmann
