12 NYC condo buildings with rooftop pools offering luxurious resort-style living

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Thursday, June 27, 2024

Pierhouse at Brooklyn Bridge Park

After weeks of waiting, and the summer's first heat wave, New York's public pools officially opened on June 27, 2024. The opening comes one day after New York City schools closed for the summer and shortly after Mayor Adams announced "Let's Swim NYC," the biggest funding in the city's public pools in over 50 years.

New York’s new developments have no shortage of indoor pools, but outdoor pools offer the atmosphere of a community pool, not to mention outstanding views and lounge areas that would be the envy of most elite country clubs. And for the ultimate in luxury, we look at apartments that come with their own private pools.

5 Franklin Place
Five availabilities from $1.225M - $5.75M

In the heart of Tribeca, Franklin Place presents a modern take on the surrounding industrial architecture on its cobblestoned block. A landscaped roof deck with outdoor pool and cabanas is beautifully positioned to overlook both historic architecture and the new Lower Manhattan skyline.

The A Building, East Village

425 East 13th Street
