Hundreds of folks gathered for the Domino Sugar Factory open house this weekend, per the Daily News. “Groundbreaking is expected next year on the project that will create 2,200 new units of housing, with 660 units set aside as affordable rentals or condos for people earning between $25,000 and $95,000 a year,” they write.

Update: According to Curbed, the developer is planning a shuttle bus to get Domino residents to and from the L train.

There is no program for “affordable” condos, just rentals and co-ops. It’s too complicated to give many subsidized mortgages, so they only give one for the building.
It sounds like it would be a 50/30/20 property given the wide range for the income restricted units.
They can do whatever with the 50% of the units that are market rate.
I wouldn’t be holding my breath for those Domino condos. It’s going to be a while!
