Not only is it the best views in the building, but you also have no upstairs neighbors to deal with and you often have a private roof terrace.

We at the RP Group love penthouse homes, which is why this week's email put's a spotlight on some of the most incredible penthouses currently on the market. To view the entire collection, click HERE, or scroll down to see some of our select favorites.
