The next largest in Singapore is in The Marq, which has a floor area of 17,642 sq ft, followed by Reflections At Keppel Bay, Hilltops, Boulevard Vue and Concourse Skyline.

Super penthouses, as defined by the luxury brokerage, are penthouses which are 10,000 sq ft and above – about 10 times an average four-room HDB flat. Those located in “super tall” buildings which are 1,000 to 1,900 ft in height, found in major global cities, tend to attract more attention and set record prices due to spectacular views offered, List SIR said.
