News > For Ultimate Luxury, Go Straight to the Top

Everything is bigger and better in Texas. Luxury condos in Dallas are no exception, and Big D is synonymous with big luxury. If you’re looking for a lavish condo that transcends your expectations, go straight to the top and explore the exquisite penthouses available in Dallas high rise buildings. Whether in your line of work or your trophy cabinet, you likely put your most prestigious accolades on the top shelf. Builders do the same. They put their most prized artistry at the top of towering high rises. Here are some distinctive features you can expect to find in a penthouse in Dallas:

Large Floorplans. Penthouses are essentially “condo estates in the sky”. Since individual estates obviously vary in scope and style, high-end high rises accommodate buyers by reserving the top two or three floors for several penthouse suites that offer a wide range of sizes, features and finishes. While some penthouses contain 4,000 to 6,000 square feet, others are even more expansive. For example, a sprawling penthouse at La Tour in Uptown Dallas encompasses 9,200 square feet, which includes multiple living areas, six spacious bedrooms, 5.5 luxury baths, a private elevator and enough functional space for a workout room, media room and office.

Tall or soaring ceilings. The airiness of height gives a more spacious feel. While most penthouse ceilings are at least 10 feet, a two-story penthouse at the Vendome on Turtle Creek offers ceilings twice that tall in the main living area and foyer. That not only enriches the design elements; it proves the rule of thumb: the higher the ceiling, the better.

Wide, open spaces. Open floor plans create the same spacious feel horizontally that high ceilings create vertically. Though walls are essential for bedrooms, bathrooms and other areas that demand privacy, penthouse living, dining and kitchen space is typically more airy and far less confining. A penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton highrises offers an open floor plan with wrap around balconies, which expands the sweeping anbiance while complementing a multitude of entertaining options.

Remarkable Views. Magnificent skyline and area views are added bonuses to living in a penthouse in Dallas. Window walls, floor to ceiling windows and balconies are ideal for capturing picture perfect views that hang in space like a piece of art. You'll get that in the modern Azure highrise in the Oak Lawn area. Aside from its panoramic views from floor to ceiling window walls, giant balconies in some floorplans are more than 4,000 square feet, which is bigger than the indoor area of most condo units!

Awesome Amenities. When you live at the top of a luxury high rise, top notch amenities are part of the penthouse package. At Ritz-Carlton Residences, condo owners are pampered year-round like a guest of its Five Star Hotel. In addition to a doorman, 24-hour concierge, valet and room service, amenities include a resort-style pool and garden, private fitness center and full-service spa in addition to a pet park, wine tasting room and the famous Zagat Restaurant.

Dallas is a premier place to find designer touches from the masters and top of the line finishes from around the world. Contact us today and let us help you match your specific taste and lifestyle to a penthouse that’s just right for you.
