Hi all,
Wanted to get your view on med high rise apartments with only one lift. For example, you have a complex of 3 - 4 buildings and each one only had one lift or one lift on either side of the building to serve that side of the building only.
I find this to be horrible if for say someone was moving and took about 5 - 10 mins trying to get the bed in the lift and not considering that other maybe waiting for the lift to come. For a complex of 50 to 100 lots, yes it's very frequent that people move as well. At least with two lifts as a min, you have another one to jump into. I have come across so many 6 - 8 stories apartment blocks where the strata is like 900 + pq and it has one lift. You might as well get a place with two lifts or walk up in my opinion. I guess if you're investing and do not have any interest in moving in, then not really a problem for you. For a resident, I would find this to be a real problem.
I think having two lifts in a med rise building is a selling point.
I wonder if there is a general rule, I know if its above 4, you need one. If there a rule for above 8 for example?
