Stunner, Number One Superstar

Penthouse at 321 Ocean Via Sotheby's International Realty

Feelin' hot, hot, hot in South Beach. Red hot, that is, on this Miami, Florida rooftop.

This private rooftop terrace leaves no rooftop amenity to be desired. The view. The 36-foot infinity pool. The barbecue area. The bar. The expansive entertainment space. It's the ideal landscape created for the most memorable of party experiences to be had.

This residential rooftop is surely the "X" that keeps South Beach on the real estate treasure map. The rooftop, with its bright, bold colorful furniture accessories, has an iconic Versace allure, one that Giani himself would have approved. You can imagine Versace wearing his shades, with martini in hand to toast his sister, Donatella - all the while heating up this rooftop with the most memorable of festas, as the Miami sun slowly descends and night emerges to create an ethos of mystery, seduction and glamour in a style that only the Versace family can do.

This Dallas, Texas rooftop has lots of luxury features that were included to homestyle this 7,000-square-foot outdoor space: a large dining table, lounge chairs, barbecue, flat-screen TVs, refrigerator and dishwasher. The subdued lighting enhances the rooftop's sultry ambience. Pergolas also adorn this rooftop to soften and characterize this luxurious space.

With some Texan steaks on the grill and Patrón classic Margaritas in hand, this rooftop ensemble is complete for the utmost of festivities to be had.

Lotsa Style That Goes For Miles

Leave it to a Californian architecture firm to design a rooftop with sophisticated, relaxed elegance. Californians not only have the Cali sunshine, but now have this rooftop with pool to enhance that scintillating sunshine and sexy sought-after serenity, while providing the most scenic of vistas to be experienced. According to Horst Architects, in designing this rooftop, the homeowner wanted to reinforce the idea that this home was sitting at the edge of a continent.

Livin' on the edge has now morphed into meaning celebratin' on this rooftop designed to entertain. Taking the party to the very edge has never seemed so swank. A soirée on this rooftop would surely be analogous to an all-star celebrity shindig seen only in the movies. Except the movie fantasy is real on this rooftop. Night, after night, after night.

This Florida rooftop has notable features reminiscent of something you'd, perhaps, find in Greece. With its whitewashed built-ins and blue cushioned seating, this rooftop takes you on a journey to Europe without any airport hassle.

The rooftop offers stunning water views, a limestone floor, a marble-topped dining table and Grecian stone planters filled with scarlet-red tulips. It also includes a sail-like canopy that is retractable and can be reeled in or out depending on the position of the sun. You can set sail to experience a leisurely Mediterranean lifestyle without ever leaving the comforts of your own red, white n' blue Florida rooftop.

An international Fourth of July party could be had here in a way never before celebrated. Not only would you be experiencing the gilded good life, but one unforgettable soirée after another on this charming rooftop. With free-flowing ouzo and opa!

Comin' Up, Everybody's Chillin'

This Park Avenue penthouse rooftop is located in New York City and was once on the market for $44 million. The penthouse spans the top three floors of a 16-story building, is roughly 7,000 square feet, and has 1,740 square feet of outdoor space, that includes exclusive use of the rooftop.

Imagine experiencing this roof deck with its private outdoor heated pool, wood-burning fireplace, wet bar and built-in Wolf barbecue. Surely, this rooftop terrace makes for a straight-up, perfect Manhattan. Party, that is.

Bonne soirée! As Pink is not shy to remind you, it’s time to send out the message to your family and friends: you better get your rooftop party started. And now.

Penthouse A: $55 Million

The top penthouse at Faena House, the unit spans the full top floor of the building and contains a long rooftop pool above. The unit stretches over 8,000 square feet under air and a full additional 7,000 square feet of exterior space wrapping the entire penthouse in a gigantic interconnected balcony modeled after the Alero of the Argentine country house.

Penthouse B $18 Million

Purchased at the same time as Penthouse A by a single owner, it is thought that billionaire Kenneth Griffin intended to combine the units to create an even more spectacular triplex. However, Griffin decided to relist both penthouses separately on the market. Spreading over a full half of the 15th floor, Penthouse B is an expansive 4,250 square feet, with an additional 2,750 square feet of exterior alero space looking out to the west over the City of Miami Beach and Biscayne Bay.

Penthouse D $33.9 Million

Almost as large as the top penthouse in interior square footage at 7,000 square feet, Penthouse D is considerably less expensive and yet still one of the most costly properties currently on the market. Its wrap-around alero is over 2,000 square feet, and connects all of the units' main rooms.

Apartment 14C $9.5 Million

Sitting at the roofline of many neighboring buildings, like the art deco Versailles tower next door, Apartment 14C captures bay and city views as well as the spectacular sunset over the Everglades in the far distance.

Apartment 7C: $7.2 million

Unit 7C is the most affordable of the bunch, if you use the term 'affordable' loosely, at $7.2 million. With 2,000 square feet of interior space and 1,000 square feet of alero, it has a side but still nice view of the ocean.

Apartment 6A $14.5 Million

It may be on a lower floor, but Apartment 6A is nothing to sneeze at, and priced accordingly. It has about 4,750 of interior square footage, and a few thousand of that signature Faena exterior 'alero' facing the ocean.

Apartment 5B $9.5 Million

At about 2,000 square feet of interior square footage and 1,000 square feet of alero, Apartment 5B has the same luxurious kitchen and bathroom finishes, high ceilings, wide glass walls, and expansive balconies as all the units above it.

The over-8,000 square foot interior is encircled with an over-7,000 square feet of exterior balcony that wraps the entire circumference of the unit. You can literally jog laps around the penthouse. Although the unit is primarily on one floor, an oceanfront infinity pool on the roof feels as if it’s floating on top of the world.

Currently under contract, the House's penthouse suite was originally put on the market for $50 million last November, though its final sales price has yet to be revealed.

If it is anywhere near its original asking price, it will officially be the most expensive condo ever sold in the city (previously, the priciest exchange that had transpired in Miami was a penthouse at the Setai, bought for $27 million).

The extraordinary property has an 8,273 square-foot interior and 10,000 square feet of exterior space. Set atop the Faena House's marvelous 18-story structure, the gem features five bedrooms and bathrooms, two half baths, and, most notably, a private 70-foot rooftop pool. The buyer, whose name has not been disclosed, was reportedly attracted to the ample privacy the sprawling home offers.

The amazing condo is one of 47 exclusive units in the Faena House, which is one of the premium buildings in Alan Faena's Faena District development.

Once it is complete, the District--the brainchild of several notable architectures and interior designers, including Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, and film director Baz Luhrman--will have a refurbished Saxony hotel, retail spaces, and an arts center.
