Top 10 new development condos with high-floor terraces for grilling and lounging

Friday, Jul 10, 2026 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

In new development condos, the uppermost floors are typically reserved for penthouses that are sometimes the only residential units to feature private outdoor space. But in select buildings with prime locations and large upper-level floor plates, high floors are sometimes dedicated to outdoor amenities that make the most of city views while offering grills, lounging and dining areas, and a communal atmosphere for residents to gather.

Below, we look at the ten most beautiful roof decks and outdoor terraces in new developments in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They are ranked by the quality of their amenity offerings, the building atmosphere, and the spectacular views they overlook.
