The World’s Highest Penthouse is Up for Sale
Dubai has once again set the stage for record-breaking luxury as the world’s highest residential property goes up for sale. Dubbed the ‘Sky Palace’, this stunning penthouse, perched on the 108th floor of the Burj Khalifa, is now on the market for a staggering £40 million (AED 180 million).
This 21,000-square-foot penthouse is spread across two floors and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, and the Ras Al Khaimah mountains. Positioned 460 meters above ground, this property is a rare gem, described as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” by real estate experts.
A Blank Canvas for the Ultra-Wealthy
One of the most unique features of the Sky Palace is that it is currently a shell unit. This means buyers have the freedom to customize every inch of their dream home. Experts estimate that it will require an additional £4 million (AED 20 million) in renovations to transform it into one of the most luxurious apartments in the world. Once completed, the penthouse is expected to fetch more than £90 million (AED 411 million) in resale value, according to Asad Khan, CEO of Invest Dubai Real Estate (IDRE), the firm handling the exclusive listing.
“The Sky Palace at the Burj Khalifa is the highest and most spectacular residential property in the world. It is the ultimate trophy asset, offering unparalleled luxury and exclusivity,” says Khan. “Every time I visit, it takes my breath away. This is more than just a home—it’s a statement.”
World-Class Amenities at Burj Khalifa
Living in the Burj Khalifa means enjoying access to some of the most prestigious amenities available in Dubai. Residents of Sky Palace will have access to:
- Private Lounge on the 123rd Floor
- Jacuzzis and Pools on the 43rd and 76th Floors
- A 25-Meter Swimming Pool
- Two Premier Spas
- Gated Private Gardens
- A Children’s Play Area
- Three Fully Equipped Gyms
- Tennis Courts
- Exclusive Access to the Armani Hotel’s Facilities
The top 40 floors of the Burj Khalifa are reserved for commercial offices, while the remaining 900 residential units are nearly fully occupied. The demand for high-end residences in Dubai has surged in recent years, and the Sky Palace is expected to attract elite investors from across the world.
A Hot Market for Ultra-Luxury Real Estate
Dubai has become a global hotspot for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, thanks to its tax-free status, long-term golden visas, and reputation for luxury living. The Sky Palace listing comes amid a boom in Dubai’s luxury real estate market, where trophy assets are being snapped up at record prices.
“This penthouse is not just a home—it’s an investment,” says Khan. “We’ve seen similar properties in New York, Hong Kong, and Tokyo listed for over £200 million, and the Sky Palace is expected to reach a similar valuation once renovated.”
The apartment also comes with a private elevator and 12 dedicated parking spaces, making it one of the most exclusive homes in the world. To visualize the property’s potential, AI-generated images have been created to showcase the possible interior designs, further enticing prospective buyers.
The Challenges of Owning the World’s Highest Penthouse
While owning the world’s highest residential property is a dream come true, it comes with unique challenges. Renovating a penthouse at such an extreme height requires specialized construction expertise, as materials and equipment need to be transported using high-rise lifts or even helicopters. The Burj Khalifa’s structural integrity and wind resistance also mean that any modifications must be carried out with precision.
However, for those who can afford the price tag, the Sky Palace offers an unparalleled living experience, combining status, luxury, and one of the most breathtaking views on Earth.
The Future of Sky Palace
Interest in the Sky Palace is already high, with IDRE receiving inquiries from billionaires, celebrities, and investors eager to own a piece of Dubai’s most iconic tower. The sale of this penthouse will not only set a benchmark for luxury real estate but also reinforce Dubai’s status as a city of limitless ambition.
As the Burj Khalifa’s crown jewel, the Sky Palace is poised to become one of the most talked-about properties in the world. Whether as a private residence or an investment masterpiece, this penthouse represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury living.
