Penthouses in Dubai

A penthouse is priced by what you see from it and by how few others there are. Both are fixed on the day the tower is built, which is why the good ones rarely come back to the market.

Penthouse terrace in Jumeirah, Dubai

Downtown Dubai penthouses trade on the Burj Khalifa and fountain view. Full-floor homes in the Opera District and the older Emaar towers start around AED 15 million; the best duplexes in the newest towers are above 60 million.

Dubai Marina and Bluewaters offer sea and marina views with larger terraces. The Marina has the deepest supply and the widest price range; Bluewaters is small, new and tightly held.

Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah are where the sky villas sit: duplex and triplex penthouses with private pools, from around AED 20 million, with several sales each year above 100 million.

Penthouses carry the highest service charges per square foot in the building and the longest time to sell. We model both before you offer, and we show you the comparable sales from the Dubai Land Department register, not from listings.

What we check before you offer

  • Who else has the same view, and what is planned on the plot in front.
  • Terrace and pool area counted separately from internal area.
  • Lift access: private lobby or shared, and how many units share the floor.
  • Service charge history for the tower, and the sinking fund balance.
  • Furnished sales: what is actually included, in writing.

Penthouses: current homes

Homes with a valid Trakheesi permit are shown here. Private and off-market homes are discussed in person.

Our current prime homes are shared privately. Tell us what you are looking for and we will send what fits, with permit numbers, within one working day.

Private sales

Off-market, by introduction.

A large share of prime homes in Dubai change hands without ever being advertised. Owners want discretion, buyers want first sight. HFO Luxury sits in between: we know what is quietly for sale, and we show it only to buyers we have met.

  • Buying: tell us the brief once. We shortlist from listed and unlisted homes, arrange private viewings and negotiate with the owner directly.
  • Selling: your home is shown to qualified buyers only, with no portal listing, no public photos and no drive-by viewings.
  • Structuring: company versus personal ownership, Golden Visa on the purchase, inheritance and tax questions, handled with our partner firms before you sign.
  • After the keys: handover inspection, property care and owner reporting through the partner companies in the HFO group.
