In the middle of a freezing winter, a lot of New Yorkers might be dreaming of relaxing in a pool.

These New York City buildings offer not only indoor pools, but have designed them in unique ways. Some even come with the apartments.

We survived the scorching temperatures over the weekend and while we hope this is the last of it, chances are we’re going to see more throughout the remainder of summer. The best way to stay cool is to take advantage of a pool, whether it be indoor or outdoor, there’s nothing more refreshing than taking a dip in a swimming pool. Here are four amazing pools in some of New York’s new developments this summer.

With today’s headlines focused on supertall skyscrapers and record-defining penthouses, it seems impossible to find a home with the look and feel of a luxury residence without spending millions of dollars. Yet these opportunities do exist in the burgeoning borough of Brooklyn, where a small crop of thoughtfully designed buildings are offering a sophisticated design aesthetic and an amenity-rich lifestyle for well under the $1M mark.

Closings and move-ins have begun at The Brooklyn Grove, but developers Adam America Real Estate and Slate Property Group do not consider their work here finished. On the contrary, they have taken advantage of the milestone to unveil three model units styled by Ali Reeve Design. In a pleasing contrast to the typical white-box offerings, these feature an eye-catching combination of vintage and contemporary furnishings and decorative objects. Moreover, colorful paint techniques and attention-grabbing wallpaper makes a colorful contrast to the calm, neutrals by ODA, which also designed the building’s facade with glazed brick and custom-framed windows.

The Brooklyn Grove, a 184-unit condominium in Downtown Brooklyn, has brought on Ali Reeve Design to create three bold model residences featuring a mix of vintage and unique pieces paired with upholstered furniture, wallpapers and other elements from digital decorating platform The Inside. Rather than hire the go-to stagers used by many developments across the city, the team at The Brooklyn Grove sought to deliver a fresh perspective. Ali Reeve Design looked to The Inside for its personalized and inspired assortment of upholstered furniture. The Inside, which designs essential pieces in exclusive patterns at real-world prices, has collaborated with some of the biggest names in fashion and design. The result is a conceptualized, bold look that embraces color and pattern (in contrast to white box model units), pairing looks from the Inside’s made-to-order and direct-to-consumer offerings with vintage finds and unique pieces.

There’s no question that Instagram is one of the most important social media platforms for branding. Real estate brokers have been using the photo-sharing app for years to show off properties and their personalities.

Developers of new high-end residential buildings under construction and for sale in New York City are also getting in on the Instagram game. And while moving a multi-million dollar apartment is not quite as simple as selling a pair of boots on social media, they are increasing the buildings’ visibility by highlighting the surrounding neighborhood and businesses and partnering with influencers.

Luxury New York residential real estate developers are betting that over-the-top indoor swimming pools are the new must-have amenity and a tipping point for buyers. Several years ago, I was helping a friend look for a luxury condo in New York. Outdoor space and a luxe lobby were mandatory. A high-end indoor pool was also on the wish list. At that time, though, we could not find all three must-haves in the location he wanted. That’s changed. Today there are several options around town.

With the Manhattan real estate market cooling off — the median sale price recently fell below $1 million for the first time in three years — luxury developers are turning to the outer boroughs, creating towers and boutique buildings with big-name architects and the kind of outsized amenities usually found in Soho or Tribeca.

Every month is seems like a new tower makes an appearance in the Downtown Brooklyn skyline, and that’s not all that far from the truth. The transit-rich neighborhood is undergoing a precipitous boom in new residential and office construction that’s hard to keep a handle on—in the past year alone, thousands of apartments have been added to the neighborhood, with about that many more in the works.

Sales have launched at The Brooklyn Grove, a new residential building in Downtown Brooklyn. The 27 storey building, which includes 184 residences, has been developed by Adam America Real Estate and Slate Property Group. The façade of grey glazed brick features large windows and custom metal framing, while inside, interiors have been designed by ODA to express ‘serenity and calm’.

More than 175 real estate professionals, community members, and prospective buyers enjoyed a first look at The Brooklyn Grove, which officially launched sales at the end of July. Located at 10 Nevins Street in Downtown Brooklyn, the 27-story, 184-residence building is being developed by Adam America Real Estate and Slate Property Group, and will feature interiors by ODA New York. The evening’s celebratory event took place in the newly opened sales gallery at 317 Schermerhorn Street, where attendees enjoyed cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres by Zizi Limona while previewing the new condominium’s kitchen and bath models, finishes, and building and amenity scale models. Halstead Property Development Marketing’s The Aguayo Team is handling exclusive marketing and sales for The Brooklyn Grove.

In conjunction with the BRIC Biennial: Volume III, South Brooklyn Edition, the Virtual and Real Estate group exhibition features work by artists Pastiche Lumumba, Daniel Bejar, and Betty Yu, that expresses the conundrums that arise from living in an age where the simulated is increasingly confused with the real. Although “estate” has previously been defined as fixed physical properties, the exhibition troubles our notions of property, ownership, circulation, space, and most fundamentally, what it means to be “real.” The Internet provides marginalized communities a virtual space for subversion and play, meanwhile distracting from the physical realities of gentrification and land rezoning. From Lumumba’s embalmed memes to Bejar’s subversion of the ubiquitous real estate billboard, to Yu’s archive of stories by communities affected by gentrification, these works challenges the absurdity of place and placelessness to bear on the chronological depth of lived experience.

As The Brooklyn Grove continues to rise in Brooklyn’s buzzing Downtown metro-center, new renderings reveal both interiors and exteriors of the forthcoming residential tower. Located at 10 Nevins Street in Downtown Brooklyn, the structure will rise 27 stories and comprise 184 condominiums that range in size from studios to three-bedrooms.
