The highest private pool in NYC unveiled at Rafael Viñoly’s 88-story FiDi condo

Care for a sky-high swim? The highest private pool in New York City is now complete at a new 88-story condo tower in the Financial District. The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly this week unveiled “The 88,” a stunning amenities suite occupying the building’s 86th, 87th, and 88th floors, considered the highest condo perk package in the city. Designed by acclaimed firm MAWD, the exclusive space offers residents a private members club experience, featuring wellness, entertainment, and fitness areas, including a 50-foot indoor lap pool, all complemented by luxurious furnishings from Molteni&C, Poltrona Frau, Boffi DePadova, and Poliform.

Rather than putting a penthouse at the very top of the building, the three floors of amenity spaces at the uppermost levels let all residents enjoy the tower’s best views.

“The Greenwich exemplifies Rafael Viñoly’s commitment to modern, innovative design. Its elegant form, defined by two sculpted prisms suspended from monumental I-beam cores, seamlessly integrates structural integrity with a striking omnidirectional presence,” Román Viñoly, partner at Rafael Viñoly Architects, said.

“The unusual decision to locate the amenities at the top of the building gives every resident access to the ‘penthouse,’ with spaces offering unparalleled views of the city and the greater New York City region.”

The 88 amenities begin on the 86th floor, offering spaces designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. Residents can unwind in plush seating in the screening room, enjoying an immersive cinematic experience without having to leave home.

Also located on this level is a private dining room, which doubles as a sleek venue for dining and as a professional meeting room. This luxurious area seats up to 14 guests and includes a catering kitchen, cozy fireplace, and expansive views of New York Harbor.

The resident lounge, stretching the entire eastern portion of the 86th floor, is an ideal destination for residents to relax and enjoy the sunrise.

On level 87, residents are welcomed by an exclusive concierge service. They also have access to men’s and women’s saunas, steam rooms, and changing areas, along with luxurious private treatment rooms offering beauty services like hair styling, manicures, and pedicures.

A standout feature of this level is the relaxation room, a serene retreat designed for the holistic care of body, mind, and soul. Residents can unwind in high-backed chairs, perfectly positioned to offer both breathtaking views and an unparalleled sense of tranquility.

Wellness is a key concept throughout this level, highlighted by a 50-foot indoor saltwater lap pool set beneath a soaring double-height ceiling. While swimming, residents can take in stunning views of iconic NYC landmarks before unwinding on elegant chaise lounges and daybeds that line the pool’s perimeter.

The pool is now the tallest in New York City, but Brooklyn Point still takes the title for the highest infinity pool in the Western Hemisphere.

Finally, on level 88, residents will discover a state-of-the-art fitness center by Technogym. This cutting-edge facility features a fully equipped gym and weight room, along with a dedicated yoga and Pilates studio, providing a well-rounded wellness experience.

As the highest amenities floor in the five boroughs, it offers residents a truly unparalleled workout experience above the city skyline.

An additional amenities space on level 16 is set to be unveiled later this year, featuring a multifunctional lounge. This space will include plush seating areas, private call pods for remote work, a multi-sport simulator and game room, as well as a coffee bar, pantry, and wet bar for private gatherings.

An indoor and outdoor children’s play area, along with a landscaped outdoor terrace featuring private grills, dining areas, and a fire pit, will provide additional options for recreation and entertainment.

Developed by Bizzi & Partners Development, the Greenwich offers 272 boutique residences with interiors by MAWD, complemented by over 27,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities—15,000 of which are located at the tower’s pinnacle.

At 912 feet tall, The Greenwich is the tallest condo building in the neighborhood. The design features a curved glass facade and an exposed concrete column that runs the full height of the building.

Originally designed to reach supertall status at 1,400 feet, the structure was scaled down to 912 feet in its final plan. The tower topped out in March 2019, but work stopped for several years over the partnership and pandemic-related disputes. When construction resumed in 2023, developers renamed the development The Greenwich by Rafael Viñoly, in honor of the architect who passed away that year.

Residences range from studios to three bedrooms, with a selection of lofts and penthouses offering expansive views over the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center, and the city skyline.

Current availability for studios starts at $1,125,000; one-bedroom residences at $1,365,000; two-bedroom homes at $1,985,000; and three bedrooms at $3,600,000, according to CityRealty. Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is handling sales and marketing for the building.
