Opus Hong Kong,
Hong Kong
Average price per square foot: $10,740
Top published price: $58.6 million
Pritzker-winning Canadian architect Frank
Gehry  designed the 12-story Opus
development, his first residential project
in Asia. Located at the exclusive 53
Stubbs Road on the Peak, the building’s
eighth floor apartment has already broken
records as the most expensive ever sold
in the city.
Amenities include rainwater recycling
for irrigation and electric car charge
systems. However, the project has
been temporarily derailed by the Hong
Kong administration’s property-cooling
measures introduced last year, including
strict requirements on sales of first-hand
property. For now, Opus is available only
to rent.

Penthouse: $47 million
This Herzog & de Meuron-designed tower
in Tribeca is almost entirely made from

through floor-to ceiling windows.
The penthouse is under contract for
$47 million, making it one of the most
expensive residences ever to be sold
in downtown Manhattan. An  Anish
Kapoor  sculpture sits at the base of the
building; inside there is a 25-seat cinema
and a 75-foot lap pool.
