The Pacifica Super Penthouse, located on the top two floors of New Zealand's tallest residential building, is on the market for $24 million, Bloomberg first reported.
If bought for its asking price, the penthouse will be most expensive single-family home sale ever recorded in New Zealand, beating a seven-bedroom home that sold in 2013 for $23.6 million, according to Bloomberg.
Buyers have the option to design the penthouse themselves or leave the interior design to the tower's developers.
Jason Gaddes and Scarlett Wood of New Zealand Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.
