Podcasts about domino sugar factory

NYC's top developer Two Trees Managing Director David Lombino joins the pod to discuss their work on Williamsburg Brooklyn's premier waterfront.    Two Trees is a Brooklyn-based, family-owned real estate development firm founded in 1968.  Two Trees has owned, managed, and developed a portfolio worth more than $4B in real estate, owning and managing more than 4,000 apartments, 3 million square feet of commercial and industrial real estate, and most notably developing one of the most important waterfronts in New York City,  Domino Park, Domino Sugar Factory, and their new project known as the River Ring, Two Trees' Other Eye-Catching Project on the Williamsburg Waterfront and a development site which was formally owned by ConEdison and used as an oil tank storage facility.  Two Trees purchased the 11-acre Domino site in 2012 for $185 million, and over the past decade has demolished 27+ buildings and cleared the site for rezoning, excavation & development.    Most recently, Two Trees has been in the news for opening up The Refinery, a fifteen-story, 460,000 square-foot office space within an industrial brick structure originally completed in 1884 which then housed the factory & production of sugar for Domino.  The Refinery is set to redefine the standard for commercial buildings in New York City, offering world-class workspaces and amenities, while preserving the site's rich history and embracing sustainability.   Fun Fact:  Michael has a friend group named "Red Sauce Gang".  The gang meets once a quarter and tries out various restaurants around the city.     Here are David Lombino's and the Red Sauce Gang's go-to that YOU should try:  Raos  Michaels of Brooklyn  Le Crocodile     

On this episode of the Closed! podcast Brad and Cooper chat with David Lombino, the managing director of external affairs at Two Trees, about the newly opened Refinery at Domino. The Refinery at Domino is the centerpiece of the 11-acre Domino Sugar Factory site in Williamsburg -- a 15-story, 460,000-square-foot Class A office space built within an industrial brick structure originally completed in 1884. During the conversation Lombino shares the history of the project, including how Two Trees acquired the property, why they made the decision to turn this building into office space (when it was originally supposed to be a residential) and some of the unique challenges associated with developing a historic building like this one. Lombino also shares the variety of amenities offered in the Refinery and some updates about the building's current status. It's an amazing project and a fascinating conversation. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode, we discuss New York's summer blockbuster exhibition, Kara Walker's A Subtlety. Walker is a prominent but controversial artist who makes art that comments on social problems related to race and gender; this work was the result of an invitation to make a work inside the defunct and soon-to-be-demolished Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and drew tens of thousands of people in two months.
