Description It's been years since Williamsburg, Brooklyn has transformed from a hipster haven to a playground for bankers, bros, and anyone who can afford the astronomical housing costs, but theDomino Sugar refinery still stands as a derelict monument to the neighborhood's glory days. Unfortunately for residents holding out hope that the factory would somehow be saved from its inevitable tIransformation into luxury condos and tech firms, the New York Times reports that a deal has been officially struck to redevelop the waterfront property.

This view is from East River Park in Manhattan, just north of the Williamsburg Bridge.

This part of the plant is now gone; but the sign has been removed for eventual restoration and will be placed back on the main refinery building after redevelopment has finished. This building in the photo in my opinion is a real eyesore; especially with the graffiti scrawled all over it.
