What Defines
a True Penthouse
Not every top-floor condo deserves the penthouse label. At the upper end of the market, true penthouses deliver a distinct jump in privacy, scale, outdoor living, and finish level.
In buildings like The Ratcliffe, The Trust, and 230 South Tryon, value often tracks scarcity, terrace usability, and view orientation as much as raw square footage.
