Analysts spoke about the growth of the penthouse market in Moscow

As of the end of July 2025, 214 penthouses in 23 residential complexes and three apartment projects are on open sale in the old borders of the capital, which is twice the volume of supply for the same period in 2024. Kortros experts came to this conclusion after analyzing the exposition in 361 projects in Moscow. Izvestia got acquainted with the research data on August 20.

"Penthouses remain a truly exclusive format, which is not represented in every project and always arouses increased interest from buyers. Due to the rarity of the offer, as well as the combination of attractive views and original layouts, penthouses do not lose value even in difficult market conditions. These are highly liquid objects that emphasize the status of their owner. They are chosen both for personal residence and for the formation of a high—quality investment portfolio," said Svetlana Sigareva, Commercial Director of Kortros Group in the Moscow region.

According to analysts at Kortros, the market indicators of the penthouse display in square meters clearly illustrate the exclusivity of this format in the Moscow primary real estate market. Out of 2.8 million sq. m. new apartments and apartments in penthouses account for less than 2% of the total volume — only 48.8 thousand square meters. m.

Dmitry Khalin, Managing partner and CEO of Intermark Urban Real Estate, told Izvestia on July 28 that after reducing the key rate to 18% by the end of the year, prices for luxury housing in Moscow could rise by 15% and demand would increase by 25%.

Although this is still considered a high indicator, such a decrease will allow some buyers to take advantage of mortgage loans.
