Developer Related California is looking to ride the wave of recent record-breaking penthouse mega deals. Following a $55 million penthouse sale at 70 Vestry in New York and a $35 million deal at The Century in Los Angeles—both Related properties—the developer is aiming to fetch $41 million for a top-floor residence in The Avery, a 618-foot residential tower designed by Rem Koolhaas' OMA.

The 8,482-sf penthouse on the 56th floor is actually two units that would be combined (for the right buyer) to create a glass-encased, full-floor dwelling with a 1,580-sf private rooftop deck and panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, and the skyline.

According to Related, the penthouse will offer four bedrooms, six bathrooms, two powder rooms, a dedicated library, media room, gym, family room, and formal living and dining rooms.
