New York’s rooftop pools are emerging as more than just a luxury perk — they’ve become one of the most sought-after amenity spaces in luxury condominiums. Many of them are designed like private beach clubs or five-star hotels, complete with daybeds, cabanas, and skyline views that transform the concrete jungle into an urban oasis. Take a closer look at 4 standout developments with rooftop pools across the city.

One Williamsburg Wharf, the first residential offering at Williamsburg Wharf, is a 3.75-acre master-planned development that has transformed Brooklyn’s East River shoreline into a resort-style destination. The breathtaking amenity floor features a rooftop pool deck with uninterrupted views of the Manhattan skyline and private cabanas that create an atmosphere of resort-inspired living high above the East River. Styled by Ward + Gray, the residences showcase contemporary design with oversized windows, premium appliances, and thoughtfully curated finishes that reflect the building’s waterfront location. The extensive collection of indoor and outdoor shared amenities includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, residents’ lounge, children’s playroom, and landscaped terraces that extend the living experience beyond individual units.
