What is a penthouse unit?
A penthouse is a specially designed apartment on the upper floors of a building, offering luxury and uniqueness compared to other units. Features may include:
- The best views in the building
- High ceilings and voluminous living areas
- Private outdoor spaces and rooftop gardens
- High-end finishes and appliances
- Increased privacy and exclusive amenities
Why are parking spaces important in luxury penthouse buildings?
Parking spaces are crucial in luxury penthouse buildings as they provide designated areas for residents' vehicles, ensuring convenience and security. In Miami's exclusive neighborhoods, having ample parking spaces is a significant factor for prospective buyers looking for upscale living options.
What is the significance of square feet in defining a luxury penthouse?
Square feet play a vital role in defining luxury penthouses. A premium unit typically has a minimum of 2,000 sq ft to ensure spaciousness and high ceilings. Additionally, association fees are directly influenced by the square footage of a condo, meaning penthouses bear higher fees due to their larger size and exclusive amenities.

Privacy: Fewer neighbors and less noise.

Self-contained Living: Spacious layouts suitable for a variety of activities without leaving the apartment.
What are the cons of buying a Miami penthouse?
