The most expensive apartment ever sold in Los Angeles County is a 39th-floor condo at The Century in Century City, which closed in January 2025 at about $39.1 million. The priciest sale of 2026 so far is a Sierra Towers penthouse in West Hollywood at a reported $36 million. This list ranks the highest condo sales we could confirm, as of October 2026. It replaces an older rental article: we could not verify any record-setting rental in the city, so we rank sales instead.
| Rank | Residence | Price (USD) | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Century, 39th-floor unit, Century City | $39,100,000 | Jan 2025 |
| 2 | Sierra Towers penthouse, West Hollywood | $36,000,000 (reported) | mid 2026 |
| 3 | Penthouse West, 8899 Beverly Boulevard | $23,000,000 | May 2026 |
| 4 | 8899 Beverly Boulevard, off-market sale | $18,800,000 | Apr 2026 |
| 5 | 1 West Century Drive, unit 37A | $13,800,000 | Mar 2026 |
1. The Century, 39th floor: $39.1 million
A former executive paid about $39.1 million for a 39th-floor residence at The Century in January 2025, the Los Angeles County condo record. One report rounds it to $39.2 million.
How we valued it: closing price from transaction records, as reported.
2. Sierra Towers penthouse: $36 million
A penthouse at Sierra Towers in West Hollywood reportedly sold for $36 million in mid 2026, or $4,888 per square foot, which was reported as the highest price per square foot for a Los Angeles County condo. It was the biggest condo deal of 2026 to that point.
How we valued it: reported closing price, from a single trade report we could not open in full.
3. Penthouse West at 8899 Beverly Boulevard: $23 million
This 7,000-square-foot, four-bedroom penthouse sits in the Olson Kundig conversion of the former LA International Design Center. It listed in late 2024 at $27.5 million, was cut to $25.5 million and closed at $23 million, about $3,150 per square foot, reported in May 2026. A 1,900-square-foot terrace and a private elevator from the garage come with it.
How we valued it: the reported closing price, with buyer undisclosed.
4. 8899 Beverly Boulevard, off-market: $18.8 million
Another residence in the same building changed hands off-market in April 2026 for $18.8 million.
How we valued it: reported off-market price.
5. 1 West Century Drive, unit 37A: $13.8 million
In March 2026 this Century City unit sold for $13.8 million, or $2,455 per square foot, then the year’s on-market high.
How we valued it: the reported closing price.
Reserved, not sold: Aman Beverly Hills
An unfinished penthouse at the planned Aman Beverly Hills tower, part of One Beverly Hills, has reportedly been reserved for about $200 million by an unnamed buyer who paid a deposit. The unit has about 16,810 square feet inside and 14,265 outdoors. The price is not locked until closing, so we keep it out of the ranking. If it closes near that figure, it would exceed the county record several times over.
Records set in 2025 and 2026
The Century sale in January 2025 reset the county mark at $39.1 million. In 2026 the year’s high moved from $13.8 million in March to $23 million in May, and then to a reported $36 million at Sierra Towers. Condo prices across Southern California were down year over year in early 2026, so the top end has risen while the market overall softened.
What drives these prices
- Height and view: the top sales are penthouses or upper-floor units.
- Size: units above 7,000 square feet are priced as small houses.
- Asking cuts: the Penthouse West sold about 16% under its first ask, which shows how far wishful pricing can drift.
