The Floor Premium: Why Your Unit’s Height Matters
Our data clearly demonstrates that higher floors command significant premiums in the luxury market. The penthouse tier (top 10%) saw an average sold price of $1,344,797, while high floors (76-90%) averaged $1,214,356.
The floor premium can be attributed to several factors, including increased natural light, reduced noise pollution, and enhanced views. These benefits contribute to a higher quality of life for residents, justifying the additional cost.
