What defines a penthouse

A penthouse is not simply a high-floor apartment. It is a category unto itself: the top level or levels of a building, often duplex, with expansive living spaces and private terraces accessible directly from the unit.

In Montreal, penthouses represent less than 1% of the condo stock. This structural scarcity, combined with exclusive amenities, explains their value resilience across real estate cycles.

Private terrace

Exclusive outdoor space, unshared with other building residents.

High ceilings

Typically 11 to 16 feet, creating a rare sense of spatial volume.

Unobstructed views

Top-floor position guaranteeing permanent sightlines.

Secured access

Private or secured elevator, exclusive lobby, concierge.

The best areas

Prestige towers

Downtown’s glass towers deliver penthouses with unobstructed sightlines across the St. Lawrence and Mount Royal. Buildings like 1 Square Phillips and YUL Condominiums define the apex of urban prestige in Montreal.

02
Old Montreal

Heritage lofts elevated

Old Montreal transforms 19th-century warehouses into exceptional penthouses. Exposed beams, fieldstone walls, and rooftop terraces overlooking the Old Port create a residential experience found nowhere else in Canada.

Griffintown

Industrial design, elevated

Griffintown merges industrial heritage with contemporary architecture. Penthouses here feature 14-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and terraces with views over the Lachine Canal.

Quiet prestige

Westmount’s residential enclave offers boutique low-rise penthouses with private gardens, discreet security, and proximity to Montreal’s finest schools, restaurants, and boutiques.

Heritage and elegance

The Golden Square Mile, Montreal’s historic bourgeois enclave, hosts penthouses in classified stone buildings and bespoke contemporary constructions — the rarest residential real estate in the city.
