Houston's Market Square Tower Boasts a Thrilling Infinity Pool Suspended Over 40 Stories

High-rise infinity pools have become a coveted feature in urban architecture, captivating Instagram feeds with stunning cityscape views. Among them, the Market Square Tower in Houston, Texas, stands out for thrill-seekers—its pool extends beyond the building's edge, hovering dramatically over the void. The glass-bottomed floor offers a vertigo-inducing glimpse of the bustling city 43 stories below. Fair warning: these visuals may unsettle even the steadiest nerves.

Exclusive Access for Residents

Dubbed "swimming in the sky" on the tower's Instagram, this exhilarating experience is reserved for residents of the luxury apartments and their invited guests. While bribery isn't an option for outsiders, similar adrenaline rushes await at spots like Mexico's 250-meter-high suspended restaurant or cliffside glass chambers. For those preferring solid ground, Houston offers plenty of reliable public pools without the heart-pounding heights.
