What is a Penthouse? How much do Penthouses cost in Saigon?

How much does a Penthouse apartment cost?

Penthouse apartments, distinguished by their prime positioning at the summit of prestigious buildings, have become increasingly coveted by the affluent in recent years. In Vietnam, many top-floor residences are marketed as Penthouses by developers, though many simply represent spacious apartments situated on the uppermost floors.

Penthouse apartments continue to attract significant interest from high-net-worth buyers. Previously, a premium Penthouse in the city center could be acquired for approximately $1 million USD; today, prices for select properties have tripled.

Criteria for evaluating a Penthouse apartment at saigonluxury.com.vn

Not all Penthouse apartments offer the same amenities. A true luxury Penthouse should include the following characteristics:

  • Exceptional, unobstructed views.
  • At least two connected floors, or alternatively, a single floor with significantly higher ceiling heights than standard apartments.
  • Private internal staircase connecting multiple levels.
  • High-end luxury furnishings and finishes, with sophisticated design reflecting exceptional aesthetic taste.
  • Open floor plans with minimal partition walls, with walls reserved only for private spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms.
  • Prime location in a prestigious neighborhood with excellent transportation access and a refined, civilized community.
  • Comprehensive 24/7 security and surveillance systems.

Penthouse apartments are typically limited in availability, making it challenging to purchase one that perfectly meets your preferences. Penthouse owners are invariably individuals of significant financial means, and acquiring their property requires offering a price compelling enough to motivate a sale.

In this article, we provide an overview of current market prices for select penthouse apartments in Ho Chi Minh City. All properties listed below feature expansive floor plans of approximately 500 square meters or larger.
