This 93-Story Brooklyn Skyscraper Will House The Western Hemisphere’s Highest Basketball Court
Imagine playing basketball or hanging out with your pup above the clouds? Well, this soaring skyscraper coming to Brooklyn will soon make that possible!
The Brooklyn Tower Sky Park is taking guest entertainment to new heights as it will soon be home to the Western Hemisphere’s highest basketball court, dog run, and outdoor playground, while its Sky Lounge will be the highest amenity floor in all of Brooklyn.
As Brooklyn’s first supertall skyscraper, The Brooklyn Tower stands at 93 stories and is over 1,000 feet tall–though it doesn’t quite reach NYC’s Central Park Tower, which is home to the highest apartment in the world.
Residents making their home in one of the building’s 150 condominiums and 400 residences for lease will have access to almost 100,000 square feet of retail at its base and 120,000 square feet of lifestyle amenities—among the most robust in NYC.
Situated on the 66th floor is one of the building’s amenities, the Sky Park. This spectacular open-air loggia contains a basketball court along with foosball, ping-pong, air hockey, and a children’s playground with three distinct play structures for various age groups.
19 floors above the Sky Park on the 85th floor is the Sky Lounge, offering an incomparable vantage point to experience the extraordinary sunrises and sunsets over NYC.
Exclusive to condominium owners, the Sky Lounge amenities include a fireplace nook and lounge, observation deck, garden terrace, a cocktail bar, and outdoor dining for elevated entertaining with expansive views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines, East River, and New York Harbor.
Covering 4,630 square-feet of space, the lounge’s light and dark granite, white and black marble, blackened metal, frosted glass, and dramatic bronze wall with integrated lighting make for a stunning space.
Both the open-air Sky Park and Lounge make for the perfect places to gather, exercise, celebrate, relax, and more, and are among the most innovative outdoor amenities in the city. They both offer seemingly-endless 360-degree views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, the New York Harbor, the Atlantic Ocean, Brooklyn, Long Island, and beyond.
Beyond the park and lounge, additional amenities include three outdoor swimming pools, a movie theatre, a billiards room, a luxury athletic club, and a library with co-working spaces and a conference room.
If you’re wondering if it’s possible to get your hands on one of the condos, you’re going to have to dig deep into your wallet–pricing for the condominiums ranges from approximately $965,000 for studio residences to approximately $8 million for four-bedrooms, with a limited number of trophy penthouses.
Rentals range from studios to three bedrooms, starting at $3,411 for studios, $4,371 for one bedrooms, and $6,085 for two bedrooms.
“We are proud to announce another record-setting accolade for The Brooklyn Tower,” said Michael Stern, Founder and CEO of JDS Development Group, the developer and builder of the project. “Imagine playing basketball at the top of the Empire State Building—that is the seemingly once-in-a-lifetime experience that we offer to our residents every day.”
The Brooklyn Tower is situated in the burgeoning neighborhood of Downtown Brooklyn. It’s designed by award-winning SHoP Architects with amenities interior design by Krista Ninivaggi of Woods Bagot and residential interiors by Gachot Studios.
