After several years of rendering-peeping, we finally have the full reveal of Brooklyn Point‘s rooftop infinity pool, situated 680 feet above the ground. This makes it the highest such pool in the Western Hemisphere, surpassing the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel pool in Singapore. The condo tower from Extell also has the distinction of being the borough’s tallest tower and offers other amazing amenities such as a stargazing observatory, 65-foot indoor saltwater swimming pool, a rock-climbing wall, and a squash/basketball court.

Brooklyn Point is Extell’s first development in the borough. They’re the same firm responsible for the 1,550-foot Central Park Tower, the world’s tallest residential building. It was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and rises 720 feet and 68 stories. (It will eventually be usurped by JDS’ 1,000-foot building rising at 9 DeKalb Avenue.) Brooklyn point has a total of 458 apartments, studios to three-bedroom residences starting at $900,000. In late 2019, Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, purchased the building’s $3.9 million penthouse.
