Landmarks Hearing for the Tobacco Warehouse Today

Today the Landmarks Preservation Commission will hear a proposal for “rooftop additions” to be constructed at 45 Water Street, the Tobacco Warehouse in Dumbo. Rogers Marvel Architects presented plans to renovate the warehouse into a performance space for St. Ann’s Warehouse this April. The warehouse currently does not have any roof, so the plans call for enclosing the 18,000-square-foot building. You can also see a modest, glassy-looking addition on the left side of the building in the rendering. The architects are not proposing any other external changes to the building, at least in this hearing.
