Fire up the grill in these new development condos' outdoor kitchens

By CityRealty Staff | From Get To Know Friday, July 12, 2024

One Manhattan Square (Extell)

In many New York City buildings, it has become the norm to install a gas grill in the courtyard or roof deck to bring a taste (no pun intended) of suburbia to the big city at the height of barbecue season. However, some developers have taken it one step further with outdoor kitchens outfitted with prep areas, sinks, and/or mini-fridges; still others have added bells and whistles like smokers, pizza ovens, and other items that only the most diehard gourmands are likely to keep in their apartments.

Designer Lindy Lowney tells Architectural Digest that the difference between simple grill setups and outdoor kitchens is that "an outdoor kitchen is not only a natural extension of indoor living, but it also allows for hosting a larger gathering." That is certainly the case with these new developments' outdoor kitchens – they are situated in the buildings' courtyard or roof terraces, allowing residents to entertain large groups and enjoy beautiful views.
