Sky pool in Houston lets you fly and swim at the same time

Real estate developers use a lot of clever techniques to sell apartments, but this is a new one: stomach-churning fear, with a splash of luxury. 

SEE ALSO: This Bugatti yacht is basically a Chiron on water. With a jacuzzi. And a fire pit.

Situated 40 stories above the city of Houston, with a glass bottom view of the street below, the sky pool at the Market Square Tower probably seemed like a good idea when the developers of this high rise came up with it.

But the video of a swimmer stepping over the edge of the building (while safely ensconced in the pool's waters) makes it clear this pool is only for the brave. 

Afraid of heights? Find another apartment. Prone to vertigo? Move on, nothing to see here. But if you've ever dreamed of being James Bond or a wealthy villain tracked by Jason Statham, this is about as music video swank as you can get in a normally boring high-rise apartment building.

And don't worry, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle, the pool, which extends 10 feet away from the building, uses an 8 inch-thick plexiglass bottom, so you can feel safe floating in virtual air while looking down at the street below.

(CNN)If spectacular heights give you that sinking feeling, then this is not the swimming pool for you.

A video of a new cantilevered glass-bottomed infinity pool, hanging off the 40th floor of an apartment building in downtown Houston, has gone viral.

The clip shows a brave soul…

The clip shows a brave soul slipping their bare feet along the pool's eight-inch-thick plexiglass bottom, which sits out 10 feet from the side of Market Square Tower.

It's being billed as the tallest pool in Texas and the only glass-bottomed pool in Houston.

Viewers around the world are split between wanting to plunge right in or grab their towel and run.

Anyone wanting to try it will have to befriend a resident though. The pool, which opened in October 2016, isn't open to the public.

A post shared by Market Square Tower (@marketsquaretower) on Apr 3, 2017 at 12:31pm PDT

The building was designed by Houston's Jackson & Ryan Architects and is the centerpiece of a wraparound rooftop terrace with views of the Houston skyline and Buffalo Bayou Park.

For less gung-ho residents, there's a second resort-style pool on a lower terrace. It's not the only Houston pool to make a splash recently.

The 1,000-room Marriott Marquis Houston, which opened in December 2016, has a Texas-shaped lazy river and an infinity pool on its rooftop, 110 feet above street level.

A lazy river in the shape of what?

MUST WATCH

And if you're looking for apartment buildings with that added extra, you could always try Chongqing, China.

The southeastern city has been getting creative with its housing and transport solutions to accommodate its 49 million residents.

There's a new 19-story apartment building which is not only close to the train station, but has a light-rail passenger train passing right through its middle.

There's even a transit stop inside, on the sixth through eighth floors.
