Property Description

The $120 million Genesis Puntarenas, as it will be known, is Costa Rica`s first all-glass multifamily residential building. It will also be home to the world`s largest penthouse, a sprawling 68,459-square-foot, 3 level, 10-bedroom masterpiece with three stories of living space, a private helipad, swimming pool and tennis court. The penthouse and the building`s 47 other living units are defined by their floor-to-ceiling retractable glass walls and expansive private all-glass terraces, which will allow homeowners to incorporate the country`s lush landscape into their living space. Genesis Puntarenas is expected to be completed by mid 2010 and will be located in the Pacific Coast city of Puntarenas, about a half-hour drive from the capital city of San Jose via the region`s new six-lane toll road. Units are priced from $473,000 to $3.3 million and will showcase top-of-the line treatments including marble floors, quartz countertops and brand-name stainless steel appliances. Among other premium amenities, the property will offer residents a bi-level fitness center, an infinity pool with a swim-up bar, as well as an on-site restaurant, lounge, wine cellar, cigar parlor and business center.
