The residence behind the “world’s highest penthouse” headline is a Burj Khalifa duplex that was reported listed for US$51 million in February 2025. That is a dated asking price, not confirmation of a current offer or sale. The “world’s highest” description comes from the listing agent and is not a verified record: coverage gives the residence’s height only as more than 1,300 feet above the city, without a precise elevation.
What is the world’s highest penthouse?
The claim refers to a 21,000-square-foot duplex in Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. Khaleej Times reported on February 10, 2025, that Invest Dubai Real Estate had listed it for US$51 million. The listing was described as being more than 1,300 feet above the city, but no exact elevation for the residence was supplied. Khaleej Times
New Atlas attributes the “world’s highest” assertion to the listing agent, but its coverage also points to a reported Central Park Tower penthouse at 1,550 feet—higher than the Burj Khalifa residence’s stated minimum of over 1,300 feet. Because the Burj figure is imprecise and the reports do not establish a consistent, verified ranking, the superlative should be treated as a marketing claim, not a confirmed world record. New Atlas
How much does the Burj Khalifa penthouse cost?
Its reported asking price was US$51 million in February 2025, according to Khaleej Times. That report does not establish whether the listing remains active, whether the price changed, or whether the property sold. It should not be read as a current price or an available offer.

How big is the duplex?
The reported total is 21,000 square feet, split between a 14,000-square-foot main level and a 7,000-square-foot upper level. Khaleej Times reported those figures in 2025. Khaleej Times
Is the $51 million penthouse furnished?
No. Listing coverage describes the unit as shell-and-core, meaning the interior would need to be completed or customized by the buyer. The coverage also mentions floor-to-ceiling glazing, a private pool and a private lift, but does not describe a finished, furnished, move-in-ready home. New Atlas quotes the listing description as calling the property “a blank canvas for buyers to craft a bespoke masterpiece.” New Atlas

How high is it compared with the building?
Burj Khalifa stands 2,722 feet from base to tip, according to Architectural Digest Middle East. That is the height of the building, not the penthouse’s elevation. The property-specific description remains only “over 1,300 feet above the city”; the cited coverage does not give a precise floor or measurement point. Architectural Digest Middle East

How does it compare with the Central Park Tower claim?
New Atlas reports that the competing New York penthouse was priced at US$250 million and placed at 1,550 feet, citing the Wall Street Journal. These are reported figures, not independently verified current valuations or a definitive global ranking.
| Reported listing | Reported elevation | Reported price and date | Important qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burj Khalifa duplex, Dubai | More than 1,300 feet above the city; exact elevation not stated | US$51 million asking price, reported February 2025 | Listing-agent “world’s highest” claim is unverified; shell-and-core condition |
| Central Park Tower penthouse, New York | 1,550 feet, as reported by New Atlas citing the Wall Street Journal | US$250 million, as reported by New Atlas citing the Wall Street Journal | Reported comparison; not a verified current price or global ranking |
The figures are not directly comparable enough to settle which residence is highest: the Burj Khalifa figure is a lower-bound description, while the Central Park Tower figure is reported as a specific elevation. Neither source establishes a current market value.

What is established—and what is not
Architectural Digest Middle East describes Burj Khalifa as being in Downtown Dubai, with a Y-shaped, three-part floor plan, and identifies Adrian Smith as its architect. Those building details provide context but do not verify the residence’s exact height or listing status. Architectural Digest Middle East
