A brand new luxury condominium tower has been planned at Sunny Isles Beach, Florida whereby the elevator will take both, residents and their vehicles directly to their front door.
Porsche Design Tower is to be built at a cost of $560 million, and will probably be the first ever complex to have elevators to accommodate owner’s cars. Instead of a basement carpark, the tower will have three circular platforms that rotate around the core of the cylinder-shaped building. A total of three elevators ensure that residents and their cars are pulled into the elevator and the cars are parked on the designated floor.
The elevators are designed in such a way that it brings together the technology of a robotic arm and an elevator and has put the two together. “You don’t have to leave your car until you are in front of your apartment,” Juergen Gessler, chief executive of the Germany-based Porsche Design Group, told The Miami Herald. The feature will make the tower the first of its kind in the world.
Delveloper Gil Dezer has received approval of the 57 story tower by the City Commission in Florida and will have 132 apartments each priced at $9 million. Smaller apartments will have parking space for two cars while owners of larger apartments can comfortably park four vehicles outside their apartment.
