Today’s housing lottery round-up features one building in Queens and two in Brooklyn with available affordable units on Housing Connect with deadlines closing within the next seven days.
Construction work is ramping up for the office conversion of the 140-year-old Domino Sugar Refinery at 292 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) and developed by Two Trees, the project is the centerpiece of the Domino Sugar master plan by SHoP Architects and James Corner Field Operations and involves the construction of a massive barrel-vaulted glass roof atop the former factory. When complete, the structure will top out at 235 feet tall, while the interiors will be gutted and restored. Levels one through four, as well as 14 and 15 will have their ceiling spans increased, and the 16th floor will be eliminated.
The affordable housing lottery has launched for 555 Grand Street, a six-story building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The 8,636-square-foot development was built in 1920, and yields 12 units. Available on NYC Housing Connect are two units for residents at 130 percent of the area median income (AMI), ranging in eligible income from $80,572 to $167,570.
The affordable housing lottery has launched for 188 Humboldt Street, a seven-story residential building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
