The building’s view, next to and above the Williamsburg Bridge, is unlike any other building in New York City. The building’s position on the southernmost end of the site has quick bridge access to lower Manhattan and the South Williamsburg ferry stop. 

Selldorf’s first residential skyscraper, One Domino Square, is immediately recognizable with its one-of-kind iridescent, porcelain-clad facade, which is juxtaposed with the industrial character of the nearby Refinery at Domino. The 39-story condo tower to the north, as well as an adjacent 55-story rental tower to the south, comprise the cohesive 700,000-square-foot One Domino Square complex, which is connected by a seven-story podium at its base. The podium will include 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 45,000 square feet of top-of-the-line amenities across five floors.

“As the condominiums at One Domino Square make their market debut, we’re extremely proud of the contribution that the buildings will make to the city at large,” said Annabelle Selldorf, Principal of Selldorf Architects. “The porcelain-clad towers, with their iridescent pearl-like surface, stand out but, at the same time, blend seamlessly with the waterfront. Our focus at One Domino Square is creating visually striking buildings that contribute to the larger neighborhood and the New York City skyline in dialogue with the Williamsburg Bridge, the East River and beyond, and also on creating great living spaces in the apartments and amenities, alike, to serve the residents.”

The impressive outdoor amenities include three terraces — one with a landscaped lounge, heated outdoor pool and sundeck overlooking Domino Park, and one with a central lawn, eight semi-private entertaining areas with furnishings and equipment for grilling. 

For indoor amenities, there is a lush aquatics center with a heated indoor swimming pool, cold plunge, steam room, sauna, hydrotherapy spa, poolside private showers with dedicated locker rooms, and treatment rooms for massage. Other wellness-focused amenities include a state-of-the-art health club and fitness center with a group fitness movement studio and a yoga studio.

For socializing and entertaining, the building offers multiple resident lounges with fireplaces, a media room with a wet bar, a coffee bar, a table game lounge, a library lounge, an open-air solarium, and a social lounge with billiards, table tennis, and foosball. The building features a river view co-working space with dedicated WiFi, library seating, group work and collaboration rooms, and private conference booths for private phone calls or virtual meetings. 

The building will also offer a dedicated bike entrance with direct access to a bike storage room, a 24-hour front desk concierge, and a package room with cold storage. Residents of the complex will also enjoy direct access to Domino Square, a new one-acre programmable park adjacent to the building, which is slated to open in fall 2024.

One Domino Square is part of Two Trees’ broader effort to redevelop the 11-acre Domino Sugar Factory Site just north of the Williamsburg Bridge into a dynamic mixed-use neighborhood complete with world-class office and residential space, the public open space, popular food and beverage offerings, and retail. One Domino Square is the latest building added to the historic site, following the opening of Class A office building at Refinery at Domino in 2023, fully-leased office building 10 Grand Street in 2020, residential building One South First in 2019, award-winning six-acre public Domino Park in June 2018, and residential building 325 Kent in 2017. Throughout the long-term planning process, Two Trees has prioritized cutting-edge design and architecture, community input, sustainability, and waterfront connectivity.
