Living in a skyscraper had its pros and cons. Obviously, the biggest advantage was that skyscrapers were always located in the heart of cities and business districts.
If a person lived in a skyscraper, everything they needed was nearby, possibly right in the skyscraper where they lived.
The obvious disadvantage was that prices were incredibly high, and they were still apartments, not private homes. For many people, it was important to live in a private home so that they had their own land and their neighbors could not disturb them.
Well, skyscrapers had one option that could alleviate this disadvantage, namely, penthouses. In addition to being special apartments, unique to each skyscraper, they were very spacious and located at the very top.
