Waterfront Preservation
From the Greenpoint Gazette, a Domino spokesperson on the preservation of the Refinery building:
No other waterfront development is preserving anything...
Ahem.
The developer of the Austin, Nichols & Co. warehouse (pdf) is not only preserving a huge industrial building on the waterfront (five blocks from the refinery), they are doing so voluntarily, with historic preservation tax credits and a facade easement donation. And the building looks beautiful.
It's unprecedented.
