Dubai’s 100-Story Megascraper Will Become World’s Tallest Residential Tower; Fisher Island Penthouse Seeks a Record $90 Million

Fisher Island Penthouse Seeks a Record $90 Million

A 15,000-square-foot penthouse that will crown the forthcoming 50-residence condominium building on Miami’s exclusive Fisher Island has a mind-blowing $90 million asking price, reports the Wall Street Journal. Developed by the Related Group with architecture by Kobi Karp, the sweeping home was originally seeking $60 million; however, developers decided to raise the price by 50% after “executives there crunched the numbers…and believed that is what the penthouse is worth.”

The sweeping home will include its own roof deck with a private pool and lounge area. The development is expected to break ground in the third quarter of 2023. A $40 million condominium at Palazzo della Luna holds the current record for priciest condo sold on Fisher Island.
