Waterline Square Three Towers. Three Architects. 100,000 Sqft of Amenities.
Overview
Waterline Square is a three-tower residential complex on the Upper West Side developed by GID Development Group, with each tower designed by a different world-class architect: Richard Meier & Partners (One Waterline), Kohn Pedersen Fox (Two Waterline), and Rafael Viñoly Architects (Three Waterline). Together, the towers contain 263 condominium residences alongside rental apartments, all sharing the extraordinary 100,000-square-foot Waterline Club designed by Rockwell Group.
The Waterline Club is, by any measure, one of the most ambitious residential amenity programs in New York City. The 100,000-square-foot facility includes a 30-foot rock climbing wall, full-size indoor basketball court, half-pipe skate park, regulation tennis court, 25-meter saltwater lap pool, bowling alley, screening room, art and music studios, golf simulator, indoor soccer field, squash court, and a 4,600-square-foot children's playroom. A Cipriani food hall and restaurant at the base adds a culinary anchor.
The complex also benefits from a 2.6-acre private park designed by Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects and a 20-year 421a tax abatement that significantly reduces carrying costs. For buyers seeking the combination of starchitect design, extraordinary amenities, and favorable tax treatment, Waterline Square offers a proposition that is difficult to replicate anywhere else in Manhattan.

Why Buyers Choose Waterline Square
Waterline Square offers a combination of starchitect design, extraordinary amenities, and tax advantages that is unmatched in Manhattan.
100,000 SF Waterline Club
No other residential development in Manhattan offers amenities at this scale — climbing wall, basketball, skate park, tennis, pool, bowling, golf sim, soccer, squash, all designed by Rockwell Group.
Three Starchitects
Richard Meier, KPF, and Rafael Viñoly — buyers can choose their preferred architectural style while sharing the same extraordinary amenity platform.
20-Year Tax Abatement
The 421a abatement significantly reduces carrying costs, making Waterline Square more affordable on a monthly basis than comparable buildings without the benefit.
Cipriani at Your Doorstep
A Cipriani food hall, market, and restaurant in the building base provides world-class dining and grocery without leaving home.
Our Take on Waterline Square
Waterline Square is a project we recommend enthusiastically to buyers who want maximum amenities and architectural pedigree at a competitive price point. The 100,000 sqft Waterline Club is genuinely extraordinary — we have not seen anything comparable in Manhattan residential. And the 20-year 421a tax abatement makes the effective cost of ownership significantly more attractive than the sticker price suggests.
The three-tower concept allows buyers to choose their architectural preference: Meier's white modernism, KPF's refined classicism, or Viñoly's sculptural expressionism. Each tower has its own interior design team (Champalimaud, Yabu Pushelberg, and Groves & Co), creating distinct living experiences within the same development. The Cipriani food hall at the base is the cherry on top.
On the honest side, the location is further west than traditional UWS addresses, and the walk to the nearest subway (59th Street-Columbus Circle) takes 8-10 minutes. The complex includes rental towers alongside the condos, which some buyers view as a negative. And the sheer scale of the development — over 1,100 units total — means a different energy than a boutique building. But for the buyer who prioritizes amenities, tax savings, and starchitect design, the value proposition is compelling.

Connectivity and Transportation
Waterline Square benefits from excellent connectivity to the broader Manhattan grid. The 1 train at 59th Street-Columbus Circle is within walking distance, providing direct access to Midtown, the Financial District, and beyond. The A, B, C, and D lines at Columbus Circle expand reach across the city. The M57 and M31 bus routes serve the immediate neighborhood, and the West Side Highway offers seamless connections for drivers heading uptown, downtown, or across the George Washington Bridge. For those commuting by bicycle, dedicated lanes along the Hudson River Greenway make Waterline Square one of the most bike-friendly luxury addresses in the city.
