High floor amenities at The Dupont on the Greenpoint waterfront
The Global Wellness Institute recently reported that the U.S. wellness market has surpassed $2 trillion. In New York City, every new residential building competes to offer the most enticing amenities. But what if those amenities could actually save you money?
We analyzed the value of amenities at four new development buildings: The Treadwell, Williamsburg Wharf, One Park Point, and The Dupont. For each, we selected the top five amenities and compared them to equivalent offerings in their respective neighborhoods.
We analyzed the value of amenities at four new development buildings: The Treadwell, Williamsburg Wharf, One Park Point, and The Dupont. For each, we selected the top five amenities and compared them to equivalent offerings in their respective neighborhoods.
While we aimed for a fair comparison, better deals may exist. And, to maintain consistency, we assumed residents would engage in activities like meditation, skating, or swimming two to three times per week—perhaps not entirely realistic, but an ideal benchmark.
In this article:
The results? The annual value of included amenities ranged from $8,940 to an astonishing $22,200 per year! That completely exceeded our expectations.

"Located at an entrance to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in Windsor Terrace, 1 Park Point redefines the hybrid building model with a mix of ground-floor retail, event spaces, landscaped gardens, and residential units, including affordable housing seamlessly integrated throughout.
The nearly 400,000-square-foot project takes full advantage of its irregular site, framing the grand curve of Machate Circle with bold masonry details and a façade that invites activity and engagement along the Coney Island Avenue retail corridor. The design not only strengthens community cohesion but also underscores the potential for architecture to solve real-world issues like equitable housing access and urban activation." — 1 Park Point development team

And there you have it—a well-amenitized condo or rental building could save you at least $10,000 a year by keeping your workouts, coworking, and lounging in-house instead of paying for equivalent services around the neighborhood. In this case, The Dupont in Greenpoint takes the crown, thanks to its rooftop pool and expansive coworking space. Stick strictly to building amenities, and you could pocket over $20,000 annually.
Of course, part of the magic of NYC is mingling with neighbors, supporting local businesses, and encountering the occasional oddball on the street. But on those days when you’re short on time — or don’t feel like facing the elements — these types of amenity-laden buildings make it easy to stay in without missing out.
