Life Time to occupy 80,000 s/f at Silverstein Properties’ Brooklyn Tower at 9 Dekalb Ave.

Brooklyn, NY Life Time and Silverstein Properties reached an agreement that will bring Life Time’s health and wellness experience to the Brooklyn Tower at 9 Dekalb Ave.

Plans for a Life Time at 9 Dekalb were initially shared in 2022, and Life Time has since collaborated with new Brooklyn Tower owner, Silverstein Properties, on an elevated and redefined athletic country club. It will be Life Time’s largest location in the borough at 80,000 s/f.

“As we continue to expand our presence in New York City, we’re thrilled to work with the Silverstein team on this iconic development. This will be yet another crown jewel in our large and growing portfolio of athletic country clubs in North America,” said Parham Javaheri, Life Time president of club operations and chief property development officer. “This destination will be unmatched in offerings, and we look forward to delivering our incomparable healthy living, healthy aging and healthy entertainment experiences to residents and the surrounding community.”

Life Time Brooklyn Tower will cover seven floors throughout the soaring 1,066-foot-tall building, providing residents and members with a holistic experience focused on recovery, rejuvenation and socializing. In addition, Life Time’s premier programming with exclusive studio classes, dynamic personal training and best-in-class strength and fitness offerings and amenities will be front and center.

Highlights include:

• Rooftop pool with resort-like seating and bar to create an oasis in the city

• Co-ed wet suite featuring indoor lap pool, cold plunge, steam room and sauna

• Luxury spa with red light therapy, IV therapy and massage

• Coworking and library spaces

• Dedicated group fitness studios for barre, cardio, Pilates and yoga

• Elite strength and functional training spaces, including Life Time’s signature ALPHA, GTX and UltraFit zones, and expansive fitness and cardio equipment

“As the new owner of Brooklyn Tower, Silverstein Properties is committed to a successful completion of the project which includes ensuring that residents will continue to expect Life Time’s unparalleled health and wellness experience as one of the building’s suite of exceptional amenities,” said Shawn Katz, president of Silverstein Capital Partners.

Brooklyn Tower integrates the historic Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn into its design and features 143 luxury condominiums and 398 rental residences. Life Time Brooklyn Tower is expected to open in the second half of 2026, marking another milestone in the brand’s continued expansion in New York City, where nine athletic country clubs currently operate. Additional information will be provided as the project progresses.
