40 Floors. 3 Elevators. Do the Math. A shiny lobby doesn’t matter if you are late for work because the elevator is full. Before you bid on a condo, check the Density . The Calculation Ask: “How many units per floor?” and “How many elevators?” Mass Market: 40+ units per floor / 3-4 elevators. (Wait times: Long). Mid-End: 20-30 units per floor. Luxury (Low Density): <10 units per floor. Quality of Life Low density means less noise, faster elevators, and a less crowded pool. In an auction, a Low Density building retains value much better than a crowded “Dorm” style tower.
