Featuring 2,400 square feet of indoor and outdoor play space, the playroom at The Alyn lets children explore two interlocking ships, jungle palm trees, castles, slides, sprinklers, playboats, and planetary ceilings, encouraging the soaring of their imaginations. With The Alyn’s location on the Upper East Side, incorporating family-focused amenities was a top priority for the developer, Gordon Property Group. The playroom provides endless opportunities for playing, interacting and learning, and incorporates a wealth of interactive features for babies, toddlers, and kids.

There's no need to send your kids away to summer camp if you live in The Kent on the Upper East Side. At Camp Kent, an indoor-outdoor playground designed by Williams New York and executed by Extell Design and Beyer Blinder Belle, youngsters can climb a real treehouse, tell stories around a "campfire" surrounded by reimagined birch trees, and follow a custom carpet with a contoured stream and plantings. Camp Kent has everything a kid needs to spend a night "under the stars."

At Waterline Square, developer GID Development Group tapped renowned children's museum and aquarium designer Roto to create an exceptional interactive experience inside their 4,600-square-foot children's playroom. Roto crafted the massive children's space with the same spirit as their national institutional designs, making it into a global exploration learning experience. The design of the playroom centers on a fictional adventure story that Roto created specifically for Waterline Square. The “story” takes children on a worldly journey, with each room mimicking different scenes from the story, taking young residents around the world to Stonehenge, on a safari Africa, to the Egyptian pyramids, surfing in Australia, to the islands of Hawaii, and beyond. Each space is designed to be highly interactive and features fun elements such as a slide, train table, and safari car.

Developed by the original builders of Rockefeller Center and designed with a vintage "Gotham-esque" flair, Rose Hill is a new 45-story luxury condominium tower currently under construction at 30 East 29th Street. With architecture and interior design by the acclaimed global architecture firm CetraRuddy, Rose Hill draws a direct connection back to Rockefeller Center with its heavy Art Deco influence of the 20th century. Rising over 600 feet in height, the building is eloquently clad in a bronze-tone façade, accented by intricate detailing that frames expansive glass windows. Taking its place among New York’s architectural icons and inspired by the Rockefeller Group’s landmark developments, decorative lighting will illuminate the tower’s base and crown to highlight the building’s unique articulation. The contemporary design, although rooted in the past, speaks to today's modern New Yorker.

At The Kent on the Upper East Side, the classic uptown buildings of the 1920s have been reinvented. Renowned architectural firm Beyer Blinder Belle, known for restoring classic buildings such as the Empire State Building and City Hall, designed The Kent to be reminiscent of landmark Art Deco buildings. The facade is constructed of classic brick and limestone, accented by metalwork paneling and large windows, with a series of steel and glass lanterns crowning the building. Indoors, celebrated designer Champalimaud designed interiors that evoke a different era, with custom chandeliers and Art Deco-inspired accents, including a French Vanilla marble fireplace and bar in the lobby lounge, and brass elevator doors that recall vintage elevator carriages.
