The race between New York City developers to attract residents by giving their residential buildings better and more extravagant amenities has reached a new level.

On Friday, November 17, leasing began for one of the three towers that make up a giant 1,871-unit luxury Jackson Park rental in Long Island City, with units starting at $1,915 a month. What sets this property apart from its neighbors is a separate five-story structure with 45,000-square-feet dedicated completely to amenities for the building’s residents.

According to The Post, “Named the Club at Jackson Park, The Post got an exclusive look on what this expansive amenity building — connected to the three rental towers below ground — will include when it opens in spring 2018. Fully decked out on the inside by design firm Clodagh, the building’s ground floor includes a lounge with a fireplace, a demonstration kitchen, private dining and conference rooms, and a gaming area with a golf simulator, a poker table, billiards and foosball. Just outside, there’s a patio with a wet bar and shuffleboard. On the second level, a gym outfitted by trainer to the stars Jay Wright will have Peloton bikes ($1,995 a pop!), Gratz-brand Pilates tables and 21 weekly classes. One story up, there’s a spa with a sauna and steam rooms, a meditation lounge and a 75-foot indoor lap pool. Meanwhile, full-size basketball/volleyball and squash courts span the entire fourth floor. On top, the roof deck, with landscape architecture by HMWhite, has an outdoor pool — yes, another pool — with a hot tub, cabanas, chaise lounges and tables.”

This makes an incredible 120,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities for Jackson Park. In addition to the Club Building, there is also a 1.6-acre park located at the center of the 4-acre development. Mack Scogin Merrill Elam and Hill West architects also designed several social spaces in the sky, on the roof of each of the residential buildings as well as lounges and terraces.

The project’s developer Tishman Speyer says that the Club is the “signature offering” of the property. They were able to create a bigger park by outing all the amenities into one building as well as offer even more.

Tishman Speyer’s managing director of residential development Erik Rose said, “The goal is to provide a full suite of amenities that would appeal to as wide of a range [of renters] as we could.”

The leasing for Jackson Park is being handled by Citi Habitats.
