The newest plans for the Domino Sugar Refinery Building were approved this morning by the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). The modified plan keeps the famous Domino Sugar sign as part of the complex, moving it to the roof of the Refinery Building. Incorporating recommendations from the LPC, the architecture firm, Beyer Blinder Belle, scaled back the size of the project resulting in a decrease of more than 20,000 square feet of residential space. Michael Lappin, the CEO of CPC Resources, a partner developer of the project, believes that this loss of residential square footage could affect their ability to develop the promised 660 affordable units.
