Minerva BI has finalized a lease for 8,320 square feet of office space on the 10th floor of the Refinery at Domino in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The move marks a significant expansion from the company's former 3,500-square-foot location on the building's third floor.
Why it matters
The company's decision to more than double its footprint in the Refinery at Domino reflects a continued growth trajectory for the firm. Securing the larger space required quick action from their broker to outpace other tenants vying for space in the Williamsburg office market.
Minerva BI increased its office footprint by 4,820 square feet, moving from a 3,500-square-foot unit to an 8,320-square-foot space. This expansion occurs within a Williamsburg commercial market that saw an average asking rent of $65.08 per square foot during the third quarter of 2026.

The details
