At $12.8 million, this is Stockholm’s most expensive apartment. It is owned by Filip Tysander the entrepreneurial mastermind behind Daniel Wellington watches: the brand started when Tysander travelled to Australia and met a young Englishman named Daniel Wellington, who he noticed was wearing a Rolex with a nato strap. Impressed by the young man’s style, Tysander realise that there was a gap in the market for such watches which he would go on to capitalise on, it also gave him the name of his now extremely popular watch brand. The company made $180 million in sales last year, so why not spend some of that hard earned money on a new home?
The penthouse flat is located at the top of a hotel in the middle of Stockholm. Originally, the developer intended for this to be two individual apartments but Tysander decided to buy both and turn it into one palatial 418 square meter apartment at a cost of $30,000 per square meter.
At such an extravagant cost, you would expect there to be some pretty impressive features on opening the door, and there are. Not only does it have access to a rooftop terrace with one of the best panoramic views you will find anywhere in the entire city, it also comes with its own 15 – meter indoor swimming pool. However, this one also has a retractable roof so it can be transformed into an outdoor pool at the push of a button. It seems convertible cars weren’t enough for Mr. Tysander, he also needed a convertible swimming pool. Another perk is that all of the apartments in the building come with an around the clock room service and a parking service.
If the $12.8 million price tag of this apartment is a little out of your price range, fear not it is still possible to find an apartment in the same development. The cheapest available can be yours for $2.4 million.
