The Real Deal first reported Two Trees was seeking construction financing from the state’s housing finance arm for the Domino Sugar site . The project — a 22-story office building connected to a 42-story residential tower — is expected to cost $309 million.

Last year, Two Trees opened the first residential building on the site, 325 Kent, which received 87,000 applications for its 104 affordable units. The developer also signed a restaurant run by Michelin star chef Missy Robbins and the Clinton Hill-based eatery Mekelburg’s as retail tenants in the building. [CO] — Kathryn Brenzel
