The cross-shaped pool that will utilize the East River’s waters has a confirmed location.
For nearly a decade and a half, New Yorkers have awaited the arrival of a self-filtering, cross-shaped pool floating in the city’s East River after the proposal was partially crowdfunded and eventually approved by the city. Now the futuristic design has an official home.
An early estimate in 2011 put the total cost of the project at $21 million, though Kara Meyer, managing director of Friends of + POOL, told CNN over email that this figure has since increased to around $50 million, with a more detailed cost estimate still to come. “One of the most beautiful things about this project is that it has truly been community-driven,” Meyer said.
