Occupying the 53rd and 54th floors, the Super Penthouse boasts sweeping views of Auckland's Waitemata Harbour, and if sold at asking price, will be the most expensive home sale in New Zealand's history. The buyer can opt to design the penthouse themselves and purchase it at a slightly lower price, or have the developer follow through with its proposed layout.
