The waterfront property at the Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg will be open to the public for the first time in over a century this Sunday. Refinery, LLC, the developer who plans to convert the landmarked refinery into residential units, is inviting everyone over for free refreshments and a chance to take in the East River views. The plan is to have more of these events in the spring and give the community a taste of what's to come when developer completes a planned five-block-long esplanade on the property.
Visitors are welcome to enter at the foot of South Second Street and Kent Avenue on Sunday between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. In addition to refreshments, dominoes and "family entertainment" will be provided. And while most of these photos here were taken from inside the refinery—which will be off limits Sunday—we're sure some of you shutterbugs will find a way to slip inside.

sweet!
Apartments or "luxury" apartments, I wonder?
Niceee!
Count me in
Yes, photographers, exploit a nice gesture and try to sneak into a factory for some totally not cliche photos of a decrepit factory. Maybe, if you're lucky, they'll catch one of you and shut the whole thing down, like Terminal Five! Then everybody wins!
Exploit the "nice gesture" of developers opening up a historic factory they're mutilating into condos while they pander to the public to not be so down on the project?
The horror!
Cliche shots of dereliction, here I come.

^ Thank you. The rendering of those proposed condos in the New York Times a while back shows a stripped down property with everything but the central masonry building and stack demolished and several floors of glassy penthouses stuck on top. Creepsville.
