Imagine driving your Ferrari directly into your penthouse, and leaving it parked on display like the expensive piece of art that it is. For the jet set and car enthusiast, this is a reality. The ultimate, luxury residential towers now provide private parking spaces- known as sky garages- that are typically located either adjacent to an individual apartment and separated from the interior living space by a glass wall partition, or one story below and accessible via an internal staircase. Ready to look and go for the ride of your life?

And sky living continues to become increasingly popular as many new, record-breaking developments are being built for the select few. Extra emphasis is placed on making penthouses the most sensational dwellings, with bespoke features so exclusive that there's no way one's noble status goes unchecked. Penthouse perks include plenty of natural light, premium privacy, exceptional indoor space, palatial outdoor areas, and above all, that sovereign style.

Take a minute to peruse these perks, and explore your potential royal status in hopes of someday purchasing your own dream penthouse, if not already done.

Plenty Of Natural Light

luxuryproperty.com

Penthouses usually come with unobstructed views and therefore allow plenty of natural light to flood the space, making the penthouse not just spacious but also airy and elegantly bright.

Premium Privacy

luxuryproperty.com

By ranking high above the busy streets in a penthouse, you are easily removed from traffic and other jarring city noises that the apartments below you might otherwise experience. In addition, with no one living above you, there are no disruptions from ill-mannered neighbors. In other words, owning a penthouse is the crème de la crème of luxury living.

Occupying the top of a building usually means that you don’t share the floor; it’s all yours. Being so high up also means premium privacy - no one is peering through your windows. These features combined with a sought-after location provide the ultimate sanctuary. Residents are typically close enough to access the center of the city while maintaining a more private locale by the waterfront. That said, it's quite obvious that penthouse living reigns supreme.

Fabulous Finishes

Many penthouses come with finishes that are exclusive to that unit, and a notch above those throughout the rest of the building. Such bespoke furnishings add to that "penthouse wow factor.”

Highrises with over-sized windows provide the most stunning views and beautifully lit interior.

Here, the oversized fireplace makes this kitchen super hot from a real estate perspective, as well as the ultra deluxe, super-sized appliances.

Expansive Space

A palatial bedroom allows you to simply retreat from the city into your own personal utopia. Pure penthouse passion.

A bathroom with a unique shape, featuring distinct recesses throughout, provides nothing less than premium space for you to roam around in bubbling bliss.

Outdoor Terraces With Unobstructed Panoramic Views

One of the most alluring features of owning a penthouse is direct access to your private, ample outdoor space with unobstructed views. Ideal for entertaining guests.

Imagine stepping outside onto your terrace and being able to see all around; not into another building’s window, but seeing only the breathtaking view of the city. And it's all experienced from your private outdoor jacuzzi.

Being at the top means reigning high, literally and figuratively. Only at the top can you experience exclusivity firsthand. It's the place where fairytale living becomes your real estate reality.

This festival, as well as Pamplona itself, inspired the world-famous author, Ernest Hemingway. Who can forget those two famous lines from The Sun Also Rises? “[You] can’t stand it to think [your] life is going so fast and [you're] not really living it." Followed by the gilded response: “Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bullfighters.” However, there's one more exception: those occupants who reside in the most luxurious of penthouses in Pamplona surely live life all the way up. 

It's here in these penthouses that everything stops and you're in the story itself- experiencing all the prolific pleasures for real.

This Pamplona view is good for toast-drinking.

As Hemingway encouraged, live life all the way up . . .  this spiral staircase.

And the real estate gods said: let there be light. And there was, accompanied by a view of the mountains to keep you in touch with the soil.

This view is when everything becomes real and it seems as though living has no consequences.

Enter this penthouse terrain and feel a sensation of Pamplonan bliss.

This penthouse celebrates a well-choreographed story: that glorified bullfight where the matador becomes filled with light and embraces the elegance of the bull's natural beauty, drops to his knees and vows never to hurt that bull or any other bull. A legendary story. That matador has modernized the centuries-old dance with the bull by honoring light and beauty, and thereby creating a transformative space that elevates the traditional and welcomes the new. Similar in kind to the adoration this penthouse also evokes.

Read The Sun Also Rises, as you watch the sun rise in Pamplona. Experience that moment when Hemingway's fiction becomes your reality.

A penthouse view that would cause any matador to genuflect in reverence.

For $475 million, Tour Odéon's Sky Penthouse offers a giant infinity pool, private chauffeurs, and personal caterers.

For nearly half-a-billion dollars (give or take $25 million), the penthouse could be yours. (And by “yours,” we mean people on the Forbes Billionaires list. Others need not apply.)

Previously, the same penthouse reportedly listed for $250 million, with super rich European elites as potential prospects. We’ve heard of inflation, but this is ridiculous—and by ridiculous, we mean special. We’re pretty sure the penthouse’s new speculated price ($475 million) is a better economic indicator than Wall Street of good times to come. Tour Odéon is where old money will give rise to new money—and perhaps a new generation of über wealth.

The first skyscraper built in Monaco since 1980, Tour Odéon boasts panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

Tour Odéon is touted as “the very best that Monaco has to offer.” Who are we to argue? The high-rise is a double tower that houses 70 luxurious apartments, ranging from one to six bedrooms, including two 12,916 square-foot Sky Duplexes and the five-story Sky Penthouse which, at 35,520 square feet, is virtually out of this world.

All apartments here feature floor-to-ceiling windows with natural light and panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline and sparkling azure waters. Tour Odéon is the ambitious collective vision of architect Alexandre Giraldi, developer Groupe Marzocco, interior designer Alberto Pinto, and landscape architect Jean Mus.

Tour Odéon's 70 luxury apartments showcase two to six bedrooms and terraces with unobstructed sight lines.

If you play in Monaco’s luxury playground, you’re going to need toys. Tour Odéon’s penthouse—slated for completion this fall—features multiple pools (highlighted by a giant rooftop infinity pool with slide), a private disco, and perhaps—according to some renderings—even a palm tree for the billionaire seeking shade from the intense opulent glare. As if that isn’t enough, the penthouse offers a three-bedroom staff quarters, private chauffeur, personal caterer, and 24-hour concierge service. However, the eventual penthouse dweller will have to share a health club, spa, and movie theater with mere millionaires.

Tour Odéon is now the tallest building in Monaco.

The luxury skyscraper is pitched as “your ultimate home between the sea and the sky.” And by “your” the slogan means people like Bill Gates or Paul Allen. Allen is a good prospect. From Tour Odéon’s penthouse infinity pool, he could keep an eye on his megayacht Octopus (formerly the world’s largest at 414 feet long), which sometimes docks in the Port of Monaco.
