Unit 2601 at Phoenix Key Tower I will not be finished until 2027, and its buyer can still personalize select design elements. The eight-bedroom penthouse on the east side of Orange Beach changed hands for $4.65 million, one of five reported closings across the metro that combined for $13.74 million in the week ending September 6, 2026.
Every one of those five sales closed in Orange Beach, and the addresses fall within three communities: Phoenix Key Tower I, Turquoise Place and Ono Island. Turquoise Place and Ono Island each account for more than one of the week’s reported closings, and the group spans build years from 1994 to a tower still under construction.
No. 1 — $4,650,000 · 29040 Perdido Beach Blvd #2601, Orange Beach, Alabama
A penthouse at Phoenix Key Tower I, 29040 Perdido Beach Blvd #2601, closed on September 1, 2026 for $4.65 million, the highest reported price in the metro area for the week. The residence carries a reported 4,249 square feet, with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Phoenix Key is a new-construction development on the east side of Orange Beach, and the penthouse is planned with sweeping views and an amenity package built around coastal living. Because the tower is scheduled for completion in 2027, the purchase came with the ability to personalize select design elements before delivery. Listing materials specify a 48-inch Wolf and Sub-Zero refrigerator for the unit, along with other high-end appliances.
