It is fair to say that home is where the heart is. Penthouses boast a plethora of exclusive amenities and lavish architectural features, including rooftop gardens and pools, making them ideal for those seeking a luxurious lifestyle. Today, we have compiled a list of the five most expensive penthouses.
5. Woolworth Tower Residence, New York – $79 Million
The crown-jewel penthouse atop the famed Woolworth Building is back on the market for $79 million—a far cry from the $110 million it originally asked for in 2014. The five-story apartment, boasting panoramic views of the New York skyline, is being offered as a fully unfurnished ‘white-box’ unit.
“The Pinnacle at The Woolworth Tower Residences has been described by some as a ‘castle in the sky’ and by others as the ‘highest mansion in Manhattan,’” says Stan Ponte and Joshua Judge of Sotheby’s International Realty.
4. Ritz-Carlton Penthouse, New York – $118 Million
We’re in New York to discover the Ritz-Carlton Penthouse—a massive residence that occupies the top two floors of the Ritz-Carlton. It features 15,434 square feet of indoor space, a 2,193-square-foot terrace, and sweeping views of the Hudson River, the Statue of Liberty, and downtown.
3. The 432 Park Avenue penthouse – $169 million
In the third spot, we have the 96th-floor penthouse at 432 Park Avenue, which was recently listed for a whopping $169 million. The 8,255-square-foot apartment, designed by Los Angeles-based Andrew Cohen, features six bedrooms, seven full baths, a private elevator landing, a 75-foot indoor pool, a state-of-the-art gym, a sauna, a screening room, climate-controlled wine cellars, and designer furniture from Fendi, Bentley, and Hermès. It was first purchased for $87.7 million in 2016—nearly half of its current asking price.
2. Penthouse D, One Hyde Park, London – $237 Million
Penthouse D at the One Hyde Park project in London’s upscale Knightsbridge district became the most expensive flat ever sold in Britain when an unknown Eastern European billionaire purchased it for a staggering $237 million. The 16,000-square-foot penthouse spans two floors and features bulletproof windows, a 21-meter pool, a cinema, and even a library. One Hyde Park was designed by Richard Rogers of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and developed by London real estate moguls Nick and Christian Candy.
1. Odeon Tower Penthouse, Monaco – $380 Million
The Odeon Tower is one of the tallest residential buildings in Europe and the first skyscraper built in Monaco since the 1980s. Designed by architect Alexander Giraldi in a style inspired by Belle Époque design, the apartment interiors were entrusted to the Alberto Pinto agency, while the grounds are being landscaped by architect Jean Mus. Inaugurated in 2015, the 49-story Tour Odéon was put on the market for a reported $335 million.
