GID, a national real estate organization, has commissioned three worldrenowned architects – Rafael Viñoly Architects, Richard Meier & Partners Architects, and Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates – to design an iconic collection of luxury residential buildings that will complete one of the last remaining waterfront development sites on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Waterline Square, the masterplan encompasses nearly five acres and will be located in Manhattan along the Hudson River from West 59th Street to West 61st Street, where Midtown meets the Upper West Side.

Waterline Square–the five-acre mega-development on NYC’s Upper West Side–just announced that the project will be the first residential building to feature a skate park. The indoor, multi-level half-pipe skate park (image below) is the first-ever conceived amenity of its kind of any NYC residential project, and we’d love to have you cover this exciting news.
Located within The Waterline Club, which is the sprawling shared amenities space designed by the Rockwell Group that boasts over 100,000 square feet of best-in-class sports, leisure, and lifestyle offerings, the half-pipe skate park is nearly 42 feet long and 4 feet high. For the daredevils and pros looking to catch some extra air, a mini ramp is situated directly next to the half-pipe and is up to 10 feet high.
