End of the penthouse? The super rich are turning their backs on high rise living
Belvedere Gardens in Southbank Place - a 3,778 sq ft residence exquisitely designed by Goddard Littlefair that offers its buyer the unique bragging rights of having close-up views of the city’s landmarks directly through the centre of the London Eye. For buyers of this sort of “statement piece” penthouse, says buying agent Will Watson at The Buying Solution, entertaining plays a big part in their lives. “They want views, good light, outside space, no one above them, privacy and security – and only a penthouse will give them these things.”And it’s not just oligarchs, tech billionaires and rich Asian students (bankrolled by mum and dad) who buy such properties.
