Personal Car Elevator the Hot Perk for New NYC Apartment Building

by Peter Mychalcewycz on March 25, 2009 at 06:19 PM


As if the gulf between rich and poor wasn't obvious enough...

200 Eleventh Avenue, a new super luxury residence setting up shop across from Chelsea Piers in New York City, is boasting about its exclusive personal car elevator system. When you drive in to the elevator, dubbed the "En-suite Sky Garage," it takes you and your wheels up to the private 300-square-foot garage connected to your apartment. There's no need to push any buttons, because the elevator can recognize your ride. Drive in and the lift automagically senses your car and begins to rise.

Trust us, we would totally move in at 200 Eleventh Avenue if a one-bedroom apartment in the building didn't cost over $3 million. It looks like we're stuck in our current digs for now. It's too bad really... Our building doesn't even have a 'people' elevator. [From: DVICE]
