Fancy NYC apartment building getting a personal car elevator
No matter how nice your NYC penthouse apartment is, here's something it doesn't have: an elevator to raise your car up to your personal, apartment-side garage. But one new building in Chelsea is getting just that.
200 Eleventh Avenue is boasting about its "En-Suite Sky Garage." Basically, when you drive in, you pull into a car-sized elevator. The elevator recognizes your car automatically and brings you up to your floor. You then pull forward into your garage, and the elevator goes back down. You then step out of your car and right into your apartment. Needless to say, these apartments will be insanely, insanely expensive. As in, 1 bedrooms start at over $3 million and the penthouses go up to $17.5 million. I'll park on the street, thanks.

New york, The only place where you can have homeless people sleeping directly outside your 17 million dollar penthouse, inhabited most likely by people who totally ignore the needy like most good new yorkers do. Why anyone with a lot of money would want to live in a grimy filth hole like nyc when you can live in a beautiful city like montreal, where the people are actually somewhat nice, is beyond me to begin with.

Fire proofing? Reliable service? With the amount of accidents in public parking garages, run by parking attendants, I'm not real confident with safety issues.

I'm a Montrealer who lives in Brooklyn Heights. In response to the Canadian person, you are right, in NYC, you can find "mendiants" in the nices place.
However, it's a good experience to live & work here for the past 7 years.
One of my friend, also an ex-Montrealer resides in that building and let me tell you, that building is just "wow"!
on your cellphone!
