Properties with unrivaled sight lines.
Penthouse views from a 68,459-square-foot unit at Genesis Puntarenas — Costa Rica’s first all-glass residential building — are all yours. Known to be the world’s largest penthouse and spanning three stories, this sublime residence is accentuated with floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls and all-glass terraces. Land on the private helipad and enjoy views of the Pacific Coast city of Puntarenas from the lavish rooftop, complete with a pool and tennis court. This Costa Rican gem is listed for $50 million.

Offered for the first time in more than 60 years is this Laguna Beach, Calif., two-lot property. Listed for $35 million, the sand-front parcel in the exclusive community of Emerald Bay looks out over Pacific waters where, by day, birds fly above in the sunlight and, by night, the sun sets beyond the horizon. The modern home’s walls of glass take full advantage of the location and views this address has to offer.

High above the streets of New York City is the duplex penthouse at One York — a premier residential building in downtown Manhattan. With a price tag of $34 million, the modern home of 6,100 square feet with 11-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows allows natural sunlight to pour in during the day and take in views of gleaming city lights in the evening. Positioned on the top two floors of One York with panoramic views of the Empire State Building and the future World Trade Center Towers, this penthouse will not be re-created at another site.
