Luxury condos are a crock of shit. Good riddance
So I stayed in a few luxury hotel / condos on my Australian trip and the most expensive one must have been the langham (the jewel) in Gold Coast. Average price is 1.5 mil aud to 2 mil for a single unit and up to 10-15mill for the semi penthouse in the residential building and even at that price point it’s utterly stupid
Parking: these massive buildings have massive parking lots too. God forbid you have a space far away from your elevator and requires 300m walking everyday just to get to your car. Worse if you ever make a groceries run and now you gotta lug that shit and wait for a stinking elevator
Elevator : are you kidding me ?!? 48 floors. 6 elevators and during “rush hour” I still had to wait for up to 10 minutes. Who would put up with this bullshit. If you lived on the higher floor you collect a cesspool of idiots by the time you hit parking
Maintenance: yah you got a pool. So what? It’s also a communal pool !!
That means all the old cunts who refuses to “bathe” decide to bathe in the hot tub instead. Disgusting. All the while you pay insane maintenance fees and special levy’s for services you barely use.
Finishing: the unit are often poorly finished and not at all what the showroom looks like . This langham was only 3-4 years old and the facets were already screwing up, shower door mouldings were coming apart and the air con had this weird mildew smell to it.
I’m glad people aren’t buying these dumb ass things. It’s the same as buying that Shangri la on west Georgia.
