This sprawling 21,000-square-foot duplex penthouse, located on the two highest residential floors of the Burj Khalifa, is now on the market for $51 million with Asad Khan of IDRE. With the building’s staggering height of nearly 1,300 feet, making it the tallest building in the world, the megamansion-in-the-sky is one of the highest residences in the world, offering unobstructed, 360-degree views of the bustling Business Bay neighborhood, the Arabian Gulf, and, well, as far as the eye can see across the desert.
Unlike many ultra-high-end listings, the Sky Palace is being offered as a shell-and-core unit, meaning the interior is completely customizable. For buyers looking to craft a one-of-a-kind residence, this provides an opportunity to design everything from the entertaining areas to the private retreats and the lighting to the hardware. Adding to its appeal, the penthouse also comes with 12 dedicated parking spaces and exclusive access via the only private elevator in the Burj Khalifa.
In addition to the customizable living space, the duplex aerie offers access to the Burj Khalifa’s swanky amenities, including a private residents lounge, a fitness center, tennis courts, landscaped gardens, and a 24-hour concierge service. Residents can also enjoy fine dining and relaxation spaces within the tower. Residents also have access to two swimming pools, one of the 43rd floor and another on the 76th floor.
After sitting vacant for more than a decade—it was allegedly being reserved for a high-profile individual—the epic aerie was acquired in 2022 by entrepreneur Karl Haddad and his business partner, The National reported. Now, Mr. Haddad feels the moment has come to bring it to market.
“To this day, this is the most beautiful building anywhere in the world. Whoever buys this will have unobstructed views for life, and that’s really what makes this unique,” Haddad told the UAE-based newspaper. “People have questions about the lifts, but they are super fast and you are upstairs on the 108th floor probably quicker than when you go to your office on the 20th floor.”
