Construction is finished on The Dome, a nine-story residential building at 237 McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by JFA Architects & Engineers and developed by The Jay Group, the structure yields 70 rental units in studio- to three-bedroom layouts, 21 of which are reserved for affordable housing, as well as ground-floor commercial space. The property is located at the corner of McGuinness Boulevard and Greenpoint Avenue.
The building stands fully clad in its façade of light tan brick and grid of rectangular windows with dark metal spandrels. The ground level features an array of wide double-height arched windows. Several setbacks are found on the upper levels of the eastern and northern elevations, creating space for terraces.

The domeless Dome is a nice enough building and stands in stark contrast to the neighboring “Serpent” building. The kitchen is attractive, but I hope when the fridge dies, one can be found to fit in the space. The hallway apartment directional indications do not jive with NYFD regs. which require a different background.
The wrong background on the apt. directions?..you can always make a ‘citizens arrest’
It is part of the rule that requires apartment numbers on the door jambs near the floor in addition to more convenient ones higher up. This is to help firemen find apartments during smoke conditions.
Got it. Learned something new, sorry for being a wise guy..
More like The Arch than the inexplicable Dome. This is a better than average building design, replacing a nasty gas station. This area is transforming.
Anyone know why it’s called The Dome when there clearly is no dome structure?
Hideous. Lots of big trees on the streets would help. A little.
With Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City to the north, Greenpoint “hip factor” often experiences crossover traffic from these areas. Yes this area is transforming.
