As Knicks and Rangers surge, see NYC buildings with sports courts and rich athletic offerings

By CityRealty Staff | From Future New York Friday, May 3, 2024

About halfway through spring 2024, it is an exciting time for New York sports fans. In a thrilling victory, the New York Knicks just defeated the Philadelphia 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs. On the hockey front, the New York Rangers will play in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday, May 5. And about a month into baseball season, both the Yankees and the Mets are doing well.

It is also a golden age for fitness enthusiasts as well as sports fans. Once upon a time, residential buildings treated fitness centers and indoor pools as the height of amenities; today, almost no so-called luxury condominium is complete without them, and developers have gone one step further to accommodate a wide range of sports and activities under one roof, not to mention state-of-the-art technology to up one's game. Below, see the most striking examples.

11 availablities from $3,750,000

Pilates room (Related Companies, Olson Kundig and RAMSA via M18)

As activities like yoga and Pilates have increased in popularity, residential developers have started to include separate movement studios in their fitness centers to accommodate mat-based workouts. However, The Cortland takes this to the next level by offering a dedicated Pilates studio with reformers and specialty equipment that allows for more involved sessions. It is located alongside the building's standard gym and yoga studio.
