What to Do With that Big Empty Lot on Kent Avenue?
The Domino development in South Williamsburg includes the old Domino sugar factory on the west side of Kent Avenue, but it also involves a 55,000-squre-foot lot on the east side of the street, between South 3rd and South 4th.

(Also, “Financial consideration that will be paid to Two Trees for use of the space will be helpful to your proposal, but is not a requirement of this RFP.”) Here are some of our ideas.
