The bathroom (above) and kitchen (insert) of the ultraluxurious penthouse duplex.

This is a one-of-a-kind, ultra-luxurious penthouse duplex (25th floor) with unobstructed views of downtown Shanghai.
Two private elevators with keypad security locks open onto a private lobby. Open the doors and walk into a massive 80-square-meter white marble living room surrounded by grand 2.3-meter-high, nearly floor-to-ceiling doors. The large sliding glass doors provide stunning views of downtown Shanghai. Open the doors and walk out onto the 150-square-meter private wooden decked patio which will provide your guests with room to wander and a view to die for.
There's an open kitchen with stainless steel counter top, beautiful modern wood work and top-of-the-line appliances. Then there's a separate wet kitchen leading to the maid's private quarters. The stylish retro wrap around staircase leads you to the top-floor entertainment area and the two main master bedrooms.
The larger master bedroom is also complete with private patio access, walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The top floor's 60-square-meter entertainment room is enclosed in glass and stainless steel paneling and is steps away from both bedrooms.
No cost has been spared in this modern penthouse designed by a famous Taiwanese architect. Glass panels, impeccably laid white marble floors and walls, well-placed mirrors and views from every corner of the property accentuate the feeling of openness and space in this already massive penthouse.
The property is ideal for those who demand style and prestige and want the added security of a well-managed building. If you want to entertain leaders of industry or big-wigs from the top of a castle, this is a must-see.
