Beat the Summer Heat: NYC’s Best New Residential Pools with Skyline Views

As the summer heat settles over New York City, nothing feels more luxurious—or more essential—than a refreshing dip in a perfectly designed pool with skyline views. For those lucky enough to call some of the city’s newest high-end residences home, rooftop and elevated outdoor pools offer not just a place to cool off, but a private escape above the urban hustle. This season, a new wave of residential developments is raising the bar with resort-worthy pool decks, panoramic vistas, and amenities that make staying in the city during summer feel like a vacation.

SoMA

The largest office-to-residential conversion in U.S. history to date, SoMA’s incredible 100,000+ square feet of luxurious amenities include a resort-style rooftop pool and expansive sun deck made for comfortably basking in the summer heat. Rising above the Financial District on the building’s 25th floor, the pool area offers guests and residents stunning Manhattan and river views, providing a prime spot for sky-high summertime relaxation and refreshment. For days with less-than-summery weather, SoMA has its residents covered with a second, indoor pool that runs an impressive 25 feet and is open year-round.

SoMA was developed by GFP Real Estate in partnership with Metro Loft and Rockwood Capital. Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive marketing and leasing partner for the property.

55 Broad

Another amenity-rich office-to-rental conversion in the Financial District boasting an enviable outdoor pool setup is 55 Broad, a brand-new rental property that was formerly the headquarters of Goldman Sachs. Perched on the building’s rooftop high above the soon-to-be sweltering hustle and bustle of FiDi’s streets, the pool and sun deck at 55 Broad offer an urban oasis for residents looking to cool off in style from the summer heat and entertain guests, as well as a stunning vantage point for taking in panoramic city and harbor views.

55 Broad was developed by Metro Loft and Silverstein Properties. Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive marketing and leasing partner for the property.

The Dupont

Rising above the Greenpoint waterfront is The Dupont, a new luxury rental building that features–among a host of other coveted amenities–the neighborhood’s highest pool. Piercing the 38th floor, the property’s heated outdoor pool and sun deck open onto some of Greenpoint’s most commanding views, with unobstructed perspectives on the East River and the Manhattan skyline. Against this singularly stunning backdrop, the pool at The Dupont provides a highly aesthetic setting for summertime poolside hangouts that everyone will want to be invited to.

The Dupont was developed by Rockefeller Group in partnership with Park Tower Group. Compass Development Marketing Group is the exclusive marketing and leasing partner for the property.

Whether it’s a post-work plunge, a weekend lounging session with friends, or simply a peaceful retreat to soak in the views, these new residential pools prove that summer in the city can be just as relaxing as a trip to the Hamptons—minus the traffic. With thoughtfully designed spaces that combine style, comfort, and access to the city’s most enviable panoramas, these developments are redefining what it means to beat the heat in New York.
