A new luxury residential tower in downtown Houston has a unique pool feature that’s going viral on social media.

 

If you’ve ever wanted to feel like you were floating in water and walking on air at the same time, there’s a swimming pool in Texas you have to see to believe.

Market Square Tower’s pool is beautiful. It resides on the roof of the apartment building giving residents an incredible view of the city.

But one view in particular is making most people feel uncomfortable. Here is the pool as seen from the street.

Market Square Tower pool extends over street 40 stories

That’s right, the pool, dubbed the “sky pool,” extends 10 feet beyond the side of the building. The pool has an 8-inch-thick plexiglass floor that allows swimmers to look directly down 40 stories, or 500 feet.

A video, which has gone viral with over 2,4 million views, posted by Market Square Tower shows the feet of someone standing in the rooftop pool, walking to the edge, and then walking out over the edge of the building.

Watch it below… but make sure you put your vertigo to bed first:
