Two Trees developer Jed Walentas originally hoped to lease all or most of nearly 500,000 square feet at the Refinery at Domino, the former Brooklyn sugar plant, to a single tenant.
It didn’t happen, but the result is just as rewarding. The glass-wrapped envelope inside the 167-year-old brick exterior just hit 90% occupancy thanks to signings by new tenants and expansions by existing ones.
The building we once called the “world’s weirdest workplace” is the commercial centerpiece of Domino Park, Two Trees’ six-acre complex on the Williamsburg waterfront.
The $150 transformation project opened in 2023 and quickly drew tech, media and AI companies.
The latest deals include a 10,380 square-foot lease on the 14th floor for Bandana, a Brooklyn-based job search platform. Skylight, operator of hospitality event spaces, added 11,000 square feet.
Office tenants also include Whop, Plastic Lab, LayerZero and Minerva.
Luxury fitness brand Equinox is the largest non-office tenant with 42,000 square feet.
Lululemon heads to 4 World Trade Center
We’re surprised there’s been no announcement, but we can’t argue with a sign in the window.
Lululemon is coming this year to 4 World Trade Center, replacing the former H&M store. That’s more good news for the entire WTC complex where construction will start any day on the new Amex headquarters tower.
