good question -- and yes they do.

i was able to get up close and hands on with the facade panels back when they first showed up at the site. the quality is just off the charts.

This building is a masterpiece. It looks like the crown is getting done.

Also the nighttime lighting is going to look amazing, hopefully it comes like the renders.

Maybe others saw this already, but Brooklyn Tower had a little feature (of sorts) in this week's New Yorker.

Big-time perks come to Brooklyn’s new 1,000-foot tower — its tallest






By Lois Weiss
June 24, 2022


Quote:
Amenities on steroids are not just for office buildings.

The over 1,000-foot-tall Brooklyn Tower has leased its nearly 120,000 square feet of pools, gyms and co-working spaces to operator Life Time Group Holdings.
Quote:
The borough’s tallest tower will open in 2023 with three pools and lounge areas surrounding the iconic Guastavino-designed dome on the roof deck of the former Dime Savings Bank hall.

The Dome Pool and Terrace will feature a 75-foot-long adult lap pool, a kids pool and whirlpool sundecks along with a hammock lounge, an outdoor dining area with barbecue grills, lounge seating, a fire pit and outdoor showers. A double-height poolside lounge and cocktail bar will have an area for private dining.

Indoors, there will be five studios for barre, cycle, group fitness, Pilates and yoga, plus another expansive fitness floor for training classes utilizing top-of-the-line cardio and strength equipment. A calming space will be dedicated to chiropractic services and recovery.

Additionally, a LifeCafe fast-casual restaurant will add to the resort-like social and event experiences.
Quote:
And for those that want a not-quite work-at-home environment, the building will have the first Life Time Work co-working space in the Big Apple. Private and open-plan workspaces and conference rooms are located in 15,000 square feet.

The project was developed by JDS Development and designed by SHoP Architects in collaboration with Gachot Studios and Krista Ninivaggi of Woods Bagot.

The Newmark team of Jackie Totolo, Peter Whitenack and Pierce Thompson represented ownership while Joe Mastromonaco of Atlantic Retail represented Life Time.

I'm hoping they do lighting at all. I was super excited to see 111west lit up, but I'm starting to question whether that's happening. Building has been competed for some time, yet nothing...
