Developing Brooklyn: One Domino Square
Brooklyn, NY Designed inside and out by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf of Selldorf Architects, the pearlescent building features an iridescent porcelain façade that reflects the waterfront and natural light throughout the day, creating a dynamic, ever-changing presence on the New York City skyline. Inside, thoughtful open-plan interiors come to life with high-quality finishes, modern conveniences, and exceptional craftsmanship. Kitchens boast Caesarstone countertops, high-end Bosch appliances, and in most homes, spacious islands with a breakfast bar. Ceiling heights reach 11 ft., while expansive windows frame picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline and waterfront, with select homes offering panoramic vistas of all five New York City boroughs. The homes are the tallest in Williamsburg and on the Brooklyn Waterfront.
One Domino Square is home to 45,000 s/f and five floors of amenities designed for socializing, entertaining, and wellness, including an extensive aquatics center, resident lounges, a media room, a children’s playroom, a private dining room, a chef’s kitchen, and a BBQ grilling terrace. The aquatics include an indoor swimming pool and spa, cold plunge, hot tub, steam room, and sauna, as well as a heated outdoor pool overlooking Manhattan to rejuvenate the mind and body in a setting unlike anywhere else in New York City. Owners and renters also conveniently live right above Domino Park and Domino Square, which is programmed throughout the year and transforms into a waterfront ice skating rink in the winter months.
