800 South Pointe Dr, Lower Penthouse #2104, Miami Beach, FL, 33139, USA

A beautifully designed home featuring approximately 4,154 sq ft floorspace with direct views of the Atlantic Ocean against the backdrop of the Miami skyline, this Lower Penthouse has 270-degree views that can be enjoyed indoors through the large ceiling-to-floor windows as well as on the 11-foot wide wrap around terraces. Right outside the balcony is a total 2,441 sq ft space area (equivalent to the size of your average single-family home), which is enough to accommodate a small crowd to wine, dine and enjoy the tropical weather South Florida is known for.

Inside, you’ll find a spacious master suite and two additional large bedrooms with walk in closets and four and a half baths. The home benefits from an open-plan design, summer kitchen, raked granite, hand plastered walls and Kreon lighting. The living room is an excellent space for entertaining and the gas fireplace adds to the homey atmosphere of the space.

The Apogee exudes the luxurious Miami Beach living at its finest and the unit also comes with a two-car air-conditioned garage, featuring a valet to retrieve your ride, a spa, fitness centre, and access to a ginormous new swimming pool right on the water’s edge.

6 N. Michigan Avenue #1901, Chicago, IL, USA

The penthouse, situated in the former Observatory of what was the Montgomery Ward Tower Building, features large, almost double story 20 ft ceilings, which is unheard of in many new construction buildings.

Four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms cover an impressive 6,400 sq ft, with expansive views across Millennium Park, Lake Michigan and downtown, that even Bruce Wayne can’t match. The entire residence sprawls over four floors and the master bedroom is so immense that it takes up the entire third floor, along with his and hers closets and a spacious bathroom.

Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout as well as marble tiles in all the bathrooms. Walk-in closets feature plenty of fitted shelving, perfect for the expansive wardrobe. Take advantage of the nightlife scene and superb events within the city, but for quieter nights, the gourmet kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, giving you the perfect base to whip up a fantastic meal and enjoy dinner on the rooftop in the summer or watch the ice skaters below in the winter, through the large glass windows surrounding the dining room. There’s also 2,000 sq ft of outdoor space vis-à-vis a wraparound terrace and outdoor decks. Many of the Juliet balconies feature French doors, adding a nice touch to the historical building.

You’ll never want for more amenities in Chicago if you call this penthouse your new home. The building features a doorman to welcome you home after a long day at work. There’s also an exercise room, sauna and steam rooms as well as a space to use for events. Downstairs there’s space for two cars. Ideally, I’d recommend something with four-wheel drive if you call Chicago home.
