Vancouver's five priciest penthouse listings, for the billionaire who covets five penthouses
If you thought Vancouver’s real estate prices were downright ridiculous, allow us to direct your attention to New York City, where things have gone completely off the rails: a condo in Manhattan sold earlier this April to hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin for a U.S. record $238 million, enough to raise the average home sale price in the densely-populated borough by $100,000 all on its own.
Sure, the building looks a little old, and that’s because it is, having been built way back in 1960, but you won’t be living on the outside, you’ll be living on the inside, at the top, where everything is state-of-the-flippin’-art. You get two bedrooms and three bathrooms, which may not seem like much for nearly $13 million, but you also get three — three! — outdoor fireplaces, so if you’re not getting along with the family, you can all have separate fires.
4. 702 – 277 THURLOW STREET – $14,500,000One wonders why this place is staged so sparsely, and with a white leather sectional — yuck — and why the photos were taken on a cloudy day, but forget about that: this 3,280 sq. ft. penthouse boasts 11-foot ceilings, so if you’re as tall as you are rich, then boy howdy, this is your new home. It’s got three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a walk-out terrace with a fireplace, and a luxurious Italian kitchen, which you can probably hire someone to cook in.
This five-bedroom, eight bathroom penthouse occupies two stories of the Jervis high-rise. With two stairways, you can get up there in a hurry without having to trek all the way to the other side of your 9,000 sq. ft. home. The penthouse also boasts a custom library, like the one Belle had in Beauty and the Beast except that the furniture isn’t alive, although you can probably afford robot furniture or something if that’s what you really want.
This place is also perfect if you have kids, and you negotiate to keep those swirling flame carpets. They’re perfect for pretending the floor is lava, which is something kids like to do.Who needs that much bathroom floorspace? A person who likes to do somersaults to and from the bathtub, that’s who. And that’s your prerogative, if this is your home. You can do somersaults all over the damn place if that’s how you roll, as they say.
