[1]Residents of a luxury apartment block in London, England, were shocked to discover the sky-high price for heating their building’s glass-bottom pool.
According to a news report from nzherald.co.nz[2], the Embassy Gardens near the new U.S. Consulate headquarters caught attention for the cost of heating its pool that stretches between two tower blocks.
The Sky Pool is suspended 35 m (114 ft) in the air and was designed to create the illusion of flying. However, the pool costs approximately $326,485 to keep heated throughout the year, equalling out to about $180 a swim.
The pool is only open to residents of the multimillion-dollar apartment block and is kept at a standard temperature of around 30 C (86 F).
The annual service charge of $17,889 is too steep according to occupants, who say it is largely unused in winter, according to the news report.
