6/26/18 - By Jessica Laird

Ready to treat yo'selves to an apartment upgrade, moms and dads? If you've been daydreaming about a feature-filled luxury building, then wait until you see what this new rental building on the Upper West Side has to offer. And we're not just talking elevators and doormen here... Think bowling alleys and smartphone concierge apps (um, not kidding).

222W80 is a boutique-size, all-new construction in one of Manhattan's prime family-friendly neighborhoods. Its stunning architecture, seriously spacious interiors, and premium finishes are certainly enough to catch your eye, but it's the uh-mazing list of amenities that makes it really tough to top. We spoke to Amy Rose, the CEO of Rose Associates — the building's developer and leasing firm — to get the rundown on the extensive offerings.

A year-round rooftop with something for the whole family.

The rooftop alone has us ready to sign on the dotted line. There's a covered lounge with a fireplace, television, and bar, plus a nano wall system so that the walls can open right up in warmer months. The outside area features cabanas, grills, and loungers — perfect for having a summer bbq with the fam.

A children's playroom that's perfect for little ones.

The colorful and sun-filled children’s playspace will very likely rival your living room. Equipped with the latest toys and accessories, it's the perfect spot to let your tot's imagination run wild. And if you want get really popular with the neighborhood parents, it's a great place to host a playdate!

A teen room that gives big kids a parent-approved place to hang.

"We filled the room with games, including pop-a-shot basketball, foosball, pinball, and more," Rose said about the activity-packed teen lounge that offers a sophisticated but fun space for older kids to hang out. Parents will appreciate knowing their teens are safe and sound right downstairs.

A fitness center that's way more than a few mats and barbells.

Now this is the state-of-the-art fitness center workout-loving parents dream about. There's plenty of space for stretching and yoga, but also weight training and cardio. "We didn’t just put in treadmills and weights," Rose said. "We also added Peleton bikes, a Jacobs Ladder, and boxing equipment, so you can do an interesting an innovative workout without leaving home."

A basketball court that would earn any kid bragging rights.

How many kids can say they have a half-court basketball court? Featuring white oak hardwood flooring, a regulation-height glass backboard, and a standard key with foul and three-point lines, kids and grownups alike will love this attraction.

A bowling alley that will take family game night up a notch.

Yes, you heard that right. As if the basketball court wasn't unique enough, there are two regulation-size bowling lanes that can accommodate players of all ages. "The bowling alley is a great place to spend fun family time together, or even throw a unique birthday party for your kids," adds Rose.

A smartphone app that puts all of these amenities and more at your fingertips.

The complimentary RoseLife app is a one-stop-shop for all of the building's services. You can submit maintenance requests, set permissions to enter (think snapping a photo of your sitter and submit it right through the app so she or he can be easily identified by the doorman), reserve space in one of the building's fitness classes, get delivery notifications, schedule a dog walking or apartment cleaning, receive discounts and perks around the neighborhood, pay rent, and live chat with your front desk staff. Does it get more luxurious than that, parents?
