These Above-Grade Condo Amenities Are Designed to Woo and to Wow

Real estate developers and architects behind some of NYC’s top new developments have been pushing the envelope to offer residents cutting-edge, lifestyle-focused, and above-grade amenities. These buildings offer a variety of amenity packages to fit a multitude of lifestyles, from the windowed state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio at 200 East 83rd, to a naturally lit 65-foot lap pool situated between poolside vertical gardens at 53 West 53, or to 212 West 72nd Street’s spacious rooftop deck that overlooks Central Park. Placed at ground level or on higher floors, these common spaces maximize the city or courtyard views and natural light (especially this time of year!); ultimately creating a more enjoyable lifestyle offering and adding value to residents. Take a look at NYC condos with beautiful above-grade amenities that take the luxury living experience to greater heights. 200 East 83rd The majority of spaces that make up the suite of club-like amenities at 200 East 83rd, the new Upper East Side residential tower by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, are uniquely situated in the middle of the 35-story limestone-clad tower. RAMSA’s unique decision to lift the seventy-foot pool, health club and entertainment spaces halfway up the tower is boldly expressed on the ‘Modern Classical’ building’s façade and complemented by the gracious Rottet Studio-designed amenity interiors. Each featuring a vaulted ceiling, honed limestone walls and a double-height loggia with floor-to-ceiling arched windows and French doors, the 17th-floor pool room and Winter Garden create visual drama while inviting the outdoors in and allowing for natural light, fresh air and incredible New York City skyline and Central Park views. Residents can overlook both spaces from inside the windowed state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio. Additional amenities at 200 East 83rd include a luxurious spa and steam room, sauna and custom-designed treatment rooms; a street-level vaulted porte-cochère with automated parking opening onto a private courtyard; and a ground-floor wood- and leather-paneled library with an adjoining landscaped garden and a fireplace framed by bespoke marble mantelpieces, designed by Rottet Studio. Since launching in October, 200 East 83rd has broken multiple neighborhood sales records. With limited inventory remaining, now is the time for interested buyers to secure their spot at this remarkable building before all of its 86 bespoke residences are sold.
