THE world’s tallest apartment block has revealed the price tag of its spectacular luxury penthouses.
Senna Tower in Santa Catarina, Brazil will stand at 1,780ft high, which is nearly twice the height of the Shard.

And the new super-tower’s prices are set to be as breathtaking as its views.
It was first thought that the two triplex penthouses topping the block would cost around £12million.
But it has since been revealed that these super lux homes will actually cost more than double, at around £27million.
Plans for the £400million development include 228 apartments with 18 suspended mansions along with the two huge penthouses.
Eight ultra-speed lifts will whisk residents from floor to door in just seconds.
The tower also has separate lifts to carry owners’ cars to special high-rise garages.
It will also have an exclusive residents-only 64,580 square feet rooftop garden and infinity pool.
As well as luxury homes, the building will also contain luxury restaurants and designer shops open to the public.
Engineers will use special Tunes Mass Dampers to minimise the phenomenon of building sway caused by strong winds.
The tower will be named after F1 motor racing legend Ayrton Senna.
The three-time F1 world champion, 33, died at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and is one of the most beloved motor racing legends of all time.
The F1 star’s niece, artist Lalalli Senna, who helped create the building said its design shooting into the sky shows his fight for success as the “Journey of the Hero”.
Senna explained: “The Senna Tower is a work of art of monumental proportions.
“A symbol that inspires us to seek to overcome our limitations in order to express what is great within us.
“The tower has this architectural form precisely to symbolise this heroic trajectory of overcoming our limitations towards our ideals and the manifestation of our profound potential.”
Apartment sales are expected to begin in April, and construction in the second half of the year.
Once completed the apartment block will become the highest in the world, ahead of the current tallest block, Central Park Tower, in New York.
