Luxury Brooklyn Point development has revealed the highest infinity pool in the Western Hemisphere at 680ft.

The pool sits atop the 68-storey New York residential tower and boasts near 360-degree views of the city skyline as well as a stargazing observatory and open-air cinema.

The 27ft long heated pool will open to the building's residents during spring, summer, and fall, but will close during the winter months.

The project, which took three years to build and was started in early 2018, was designed by architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox for the 138 Willoughby Street property.

The pool is officially the highest in the Western Hemisphere but falls short of being the tallest in the world behind Dubai's Address Beach Resort which stands at more than 964ft high.

The Address Beach infinity pool is also the largest in the world at 311ft long and 54 ft wide - Brooklyn Point's pool is 27ft.

The tower is home to 458 luxury flats, starting at $900,000, and boasts a signature bar, salon, fireplace, and co-working space.

The residential building also has a wine library, game lounge, screening and performance room, private study, chef's deconstruction kitchen, children's play room, and an al fresco dining space.

Brooklyn Point also has a large health and wellness facility, including an indoor saltwater swimming pool, yoga studio, infrared sauna, squash and basketball court, 35-foot rock climbing wall, and a children's playground.

Sales in the tower, which has apartments ranging from studios to three-beds , are being handled by Ryan Serhant, 36, the star of Million Dollar Listing New York and its spin-off Sell it Like Serhant.

He branded the building 'one of the best buys in Brooklyn' and described pool's the view over the Manhattan as 'unprecedented and incomparable to anything else out there', in an interview with the Post.

He told the Post: 'With soaring views of the Manhattan skyline as the backdrop, this pool is unprecedented and incomparable to anything else out there,

'It has over 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities in addition to intelligent pricing. It is one of the best buys in Brooklyn and there is just much to love about it.'

Developers Extell are planning to add more to the building in the future, including a spa equipped with a sauna, men's and women's steam rooms, and a hot tub.

The firm also developed Central Park Tower, the worlds tallest residential building at 1,500ft tall. Residents started moving into the building in mid-2020.
