Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is set to shed another layer of its industrial past this summer with the opening of a 16-story rental building on the site of the former Domino Sugar refinery.

The first building on the 11-acre site, scheduled to open in July, is a rental at 325 Kent Avenue. Situated on the east side of the street, it will be the only building in the redevelopment project that does not sit on the waterfront.

The sprawling redevelopment is in its early stages, but the developer is pleased with its progress, said Jed Walentas, a principal at Two Trees Management Company. “We started less than two years ago,” Mr. Walentas said, “so we’re going at a pretty good pace. I hope the entire development outperforms people’s expectations.”
