Very High Tech - Elevator Garages in an NYC Hi-Rise 308

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 22, 2007 @01:29AM from the moving-on-up dept.

theodp writes "If the hassle of getting groceries from the parking garage to your 12th floor condo has been holding you back from buying a deluxe apartment in the sky, wait no more. Wired reports on the En-Suite Sky Garages at 200 Eleventh Avenue (Flash) in Chelsea, where an 8,000-pound-capacity freight elevator will whisk your Bentley directly into your pad. The convenience doesn't come cheap — a garage-equipped 2BR starts at $4.7M."

New York... with all the traffic... bicycle through the freezing snow and angry muggers.

Sounds like a terrific arcade game! :)

That means I could make out in a car and an elevator at the same time! If I had a girlfriend, and 4.7 million.. But just think of it! A girlfriend!

Happily, that particularly dark vision has yet to come.
Dark vision?
That was Heinlein's depiction of a libertarian paradise!

Reminds me of the kids at toy stores who keep pushing the button. I bet 'that' won't be a problem. --If I see a kid push it more than 5 times then I act flustered and say "That's too fast! It's gonna crash!!" and run away. The looks alone are worth it...

I think my idea's better. The apartments go up and down and the cars stay put.

You subscribe to Elevator World?

Wow

You have opened my eyes to a whole new world - Elevator Geeks!

I can picture it now....

"How to overclock your elevator in 5 easy steps..."

"Escalators - Are they the campers of the Elevator market?"

"Pictures of the top 10 elevators, and their designers - Sealed Section" (very naughty!)

Etc :P

If you're dumb enough to drive in Manhattan, you probably need a machine to park your car for you.

It's like Grand Theft Auto, only you're playing the hooker.

While you propably meant that as a joke, Arcanum has a hooker mission and Fallout 2 lets you pay or get a disocunt with sex on some occasions. Then there's the Kunoichi and Kunoichi 2 modules for Neverwinter Nights, with sex being used as a weapon regularly.

What's missing is a managerial game - SimBrothel or something.

Some of these new porker SUV's like the Hummer H2 already have a curb weight of close to 7000 lbs. Add 4 or 5 passengers and their crap and you can easily exceed that 8000lb limit. Anyone who would buy a useless contraption like an H2 is exactly in the same demographic as someone who would want an elevator for their whip.
