World’s tallest apartment building will have 154 floors — and sky-high prices to match

A new supertall structure in Brazil is set to surpass NYC’s Central Park Tower as the world’s tallest apartment building — and its top floor units comes with sky-high price tags.

Soaring above the upscale Brazilian beach resort of Balneário Camboriú, the Senna Tower, said to be inspired by the life of Formula 1 racing legend Ayrton Senna, will rise more than 1,800 feet into the air — slightly higher than the Big Apple’s One World Trade Center.

The costly complex will top out with two triplex penthouses, spanning 9,700 square feet apiece — each priced at a whopping $53 million. The new price tags are a dramatic leap from the original estimate of $15.92 million.

The triplexes will reportedly be sold by the British auction house Sotheby’s.

Senna Tower is being built to contain 228 units in total, including 204 apartments up to 4,300 square feet and 18 suspended ‘mansions,’ spanning 4,520 to 6,060 square feet. Even the tower’s tiniest residences will start around $5 million.

Four duplexes, each about 6,450 square feet, will also be on offer.

The project is a collaboration between the construction company FG Empreendimentos, the Senna family, and Brazilian retailer Havan. The estimated investment totals more than $525 million.

Construction is expected to be completed by 203

A lot.

But societies which do these sort of things are the ones moving up, put intended.

There was a time where we in the US built the tallest buildings, and it corresponded to when we were reaching into space, going into the deepest trenches of the Pacific, building the fastest biggest and most luxurious cars, building ever bigger airplanes, building ever bigger homes, raising the bar for what is expected (AC, high quality tap water, drinking fountains everywhere)...

Societies that build up like this, also Dubai, Taiwan, China, are generally societies that are also on the accent in other aspects as well.

But that’s just my personal observation.

No thanks, no way.

Clearly not being built due to underlying land/real estate values.

[HereInTheHeartland]

154 stories?
No way. Give me a home where the buffalo roam

[Bernard]

So Simon The Magician will have one of the penthouses. Who will take the other two?

[Libloather]

Thing looks like it’ll snap like a Twix bar.

Considering how he died, that wouldn’t give me much reassurance.

Well you can build higher but the anacondas can climb and still get you.
