GID Development Group has debuted the Waterline Club amenity center inside Waterline Square, its three-building luxury residential development located along the Hudson River on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Designed by Rockwell Group, the 100,000-square-foot Waterline Club offers one of the largest amenity collections in the city, with 30 curated spaces with sculptural pedestrian bridges and a staircase inspired by a boat’s wooden hull.
Waterline Square is the first residential development in New York City to feature an indoor regulation-size tennis court, the company said. It also offers an indoor half-pipe skate park, a squash court, full-court basketball court, indoor soccer field, 30-foot rock-climbing wall, bowling alley, golf simulator, state-of-the-art fitness center and dedicated Pilates, boxing/mixed martial arts and yoga/barre studios.
“Our goal with the Waterline Club was to create a series of unique and inspirational lifestyle options for all our residents that would cater to a wide variety of social, health, wellness, creative, leisure and fitness expectations and aspirations,” said James Linsley, president of GID Development Group. “For GID and Rockwell Group, this wasn’t just about creating a spectacular list of amenity features, but also about seamlessly weaving the elements together with comprehensive planning and high-quality design to create a cohesive lifestyle offering that is superior to any other amenity program in the marketplace.”
The swim and spa areas features a 25-meter saltwater pool, children’s pool area, hot tub, steam rooms, infrared saunas, locker rooms, massage treatment rooms and salon areas for manicures, pedicures and hair styling. Creative amenities include an art studio, music and recording studio, video and photography studio and indoor gardening studio. Leisure and social activities include a games lounge, cards parlor, screening room, party rooms and catering kitchen. An indoor playroom, washing and grooming stations and training studio are available for pets. An experiential 4,600-square-foot children’s playroom creates an Adventure Club that takes children on a fictional journey around the world to Stonehenge, on safari in Africa, to the Egyptian pyramids, surfing in Australia, to the islands of Hawaii and beyond.
