REVEALED: Queensland’s record-breaking mega penthouse
THE most expensive penthouse Queensland has ever seen is under construction, at triple the size of the average Brisbane block of land - and no limit on what the owner can have in it.
Priced at a whopping $41m and spread across two full floor levels, the highest home in the $1.2 billion Spirit 89 building at Surfers Paradise easily tops the list of Queensland's most expensive penthouses.
The 1899sq m sky home will also be one of the largest in the country, almost twice as large as Hong Kong billionaire Tony Fung's $7.95 shell of a penthouse in the Soul building, and just a fifth smaller than the hyper-exclusive Boyd Residence above ANZ Tower in Sydney - which at $66m is Australia's most expensive penthouse.
Agent Julian Sutherland of Ray White Projects confirmed to The Courier-Mail that the penthouse price was now set at $41m. "Without the spire on Q1, it is the tallest residential building in Queensland."
Currently under construction for its Beijing-based developer Foriseland, there was no design plan as yet for the penthouse with that expected to come directly from the buyer's imagination - and desires.
At $21,000 per square metre, covering two whole floors leading to the top of the 89 storey building, there was virtually no limit to what a cashed up millionaire could ask for. The Boyd Residence in Sydney has an internal lift, its own conference room, a club-like study, gym, a cigar room, as well as a pool, two terraces and a cabana lounge.
The Spirit penthouse will have access to a rooftop pool and entertainment deck along with other millionaires across the top floors of the building. Other services include a car wash and detailing service in-house, babysitting, newspaper deliveries, pet vacation care and grooming, butlers, personal grocery shoppers and even flower arrangement done for them.
Mr Sutherland expected interest across international and state borders for the penthouse.
