Well, candy is in the mouth of the beholder, but here are the actual renderings. As noted yesterday, the proposals for the new residential and retail complex at the Domino Refinery will be presented to the Landmarks Preservation Commission at a public hearing today at 2pm at the Municipal Building (1 Centre Street), 9th Floor North. Brownstoner posted snapshots of the renderings taken last week at a community board meeting, as well as floor plans for the modified refinery, which would feature five floors of residential units on the roof.

So this is what the entire site would look like, night and day, if the 9 residential towers designed by Rafael Viñoly are built on the 11.5 acre site. And today the Post observes that the iconic, illuminated Domino Sugar sign is not part of the "New Domino." (Unlike the refinery, the sign was not landmarked.)
