325 Kent by SHoP Architects is the first new structure to open at the 11-acre Domino Sugar Factory, which is being redeveloped by Vishaan Chakrabarti's Practice for Architecture and Urbanism.
Located at the Williamsburg waterfront, the residential building stands at 16 stories tall and is clad in a zinc facade on the upper floors and in copper on the lower floors. It features a large architectural opening that is capped by a 3-story bridge that contains the building's core amenities. The building accommodates 522 units, with 104 of them affordable to low-income residents.
Outside, Leeser Architecture designed a 7,000 square-foot roof deck overlooking the Williamsburg Bridge, as well as a 2,000 square-foot courtyard on the fourth floor. At the front of the building, the Domino Park, designed by James Corner Field Operations, will pay tribute to the site's industrial history. The public park is currently scheduled to open this summer.

I like it Shop, but these big urbanism complexes seem to me like wealthy millennial dorms. Which is fine.
