At 66 Rockwell Place, a 326-unit Brooklyn apartment building, access to the arcade room is included with a $600 annual membership to the building’s amenities space. Rents range from $2,900 to $10,900 and the membership package includes a rooftop lounge and health club, the Wall Street Journal reports.
