In the premium new-build segment of Moscow’s real estate market, the record-breaking listing currently stands at 1.6 billion rubles for a penthouse spanning 687.4 square meters in the western district’s Ramenki area. Market observers note that this residence represents the peak of current luxury offerings in the capital, a fact highlighted by Izvestia through access to Bon Ton analyst data. The property’s size, combined with its elite location and the final stages of construction readiness, contribute to its status as the most expensive plotted sale in the city’s high-end market. The attic-like space promises expansive living areas, high-end finishes, and panoramic city views, positioning it at the apex of Moscow’s luxury housing inventory for buyers seeking exclusivity and prestige. This assessment aligns with recent market commentary that emphasizes the price anchor created by premium amenities and the limited supply of ultra-luxury units in Moscow’s premium districts.

Experts describe this 687.4-square-meter plot as an attic-style luxury residence at the final planning phase, with a price tag of 1.6 billion rubles. The emphasis on size and architectural premium in Ramenki underscores a trend where the most valuable properties in the capital are defined by rare layouts, bespoke finishes, and highly sought-after street-level access to upscale neighborhood scenes. Buyers attracted to these flagship units usually seek privacy, enhanced security, and the convenience of top-tier local services within a thriving international city context. The valuation factors extend beyond mere square footage, incorporating the prestige of the address, the quality of construction materials, and the anticipated completion timeline that often influences final settlement terms.

Meanwhile, the entry point for this market remains accessible to a broader segment in a strategic district. The least expensive plot within the same premium tier is listed at 15.9 million rubles, featuring a compact 32.2-square-meter one-bedroom layout in Maryina Roscha. Analysts point to several contributors to this lower price, including the site’s location in a building still on a zero-preparation cycle, which can affect perceived value, economies of scale, and future development potential. This contrast illustrates the diversified spectrum within Moscow’s luxury market, where proximity to central hubs, transit options, and future infrastructure upgrades can dramatically shift price trajectories across different micro-districts.

Data released on March 12 by Izvestia, drawing from VSN Realty research, shows a accelerating market dynamic for Moscow living spaces. The total number of homes offered in this premium category rose more than twofold in 2022, climbing from about 3,600 units to roughly 7,700. At the same time, the average bid for prime housing advanced by around 20 percent, reaching approximately 22 million rubles. The figures reflect a market where demand is robust, pockets of ultra-luxury continue to command premium pricing, and developers push forward with new supply to satisfy growing appetite for high-end living within Russia’s capital.
