Whether you’re an inveterate swimmer of laps who thinks of the pool as an extension of the gym or a more relaxed hard worker who just wants to unwind in the shallow end, 555TEN has you covered. This collection of Midtown rentals features a pair of pools: an indoor saltwater lap pool for those early-rising exercisers and a rooftop pool and sun deck for those of us who prefer to relax in the water. The pools are just a few of the amenities available to residents of this high-rise, which also features an indoor cycling park, covered dog-run, yoga studio, and private bowling alley.

Retired lawyer and art collector Andrew Ackerman may have given up some square footage when moving from Philadelphia to New York, but he more than made up for it with luxe lifestyle upgrades. Ackerman now calls one of the Midtown luxury apartments at Extell’s 555TEN his home, opting for a well-appointed alcove studio in which to display some of his extensive art collection. Ackerman says that the combination of convenience, high-rise living, and amenities like an attended lobby, covered dog run, pool deck, private bowling alley, and an in-residence washer/dryer all sweetened the deal for him. “I have no regrets,” says Ackerman of the transition. “There’s nowhere else in the world with this cultural diversity—the museums, the art galleries, the people you meet from all over the world.”
