If you really wanted to do it
It couldn't be a standalone structure. It would have to be a loss-leader amenity within a multi-use building, probably luxury rental or condos. Great for empty nesters and affluent midlifers without children. The developer would have to realize that the thing would never make money but was instead part of the ongoing marketing of the property. Definitely a play for a motivated family office rather than a traditional REIT or dev shop.
