Frequently Asked Questions
Per-floor premium?
Urban high-rise: $15-50 per floor per month. Luxury high-rise: $25-100 per floor. Tall buildings (30+ floors): premium diminishes above floor 20 (except penthouse). Mid-rise (4-10 floors): $10-30 per floor. Low-rise (2-4 floors): minimal or no floor premium. Premium reflects: (1) View, (2) Quiet, (3) Scarcity (fewer units per floor often), (4) Status.
Penthouse premium?
Top floor (penthouse): 15-40% premium above linear floor schedule. Includes: dedicated elevator access, private rooftop, taller ceilings (often 10-14 ft vs 9 ft standard floors), premium finishes, master suites. True penthouses: 25-75% of revenue premium over lower floors. Developer goal: maximize penthouse revenue — often designed as 2-4 ultra-luxury units at top of building.
Floor premium compression?
Markets: premium per floor compresses in softer markets (tenants won't pay floor premium when market balanced). Expands in tight markets (scarcity value rises). Variance by building: views mattering = higher premium (waterfront, park-adjacent). Inland no-view: minimal floor premium. Multi-building complex: floor premium varies by building (tower A views water = high premium; tower B views parking = low premium).
Revenue management?
Dynamic pricing: individual unit pricing based on floor, view, finishes, facing direction. Revenue management software (RealPage YieldStar, Entrata, Rainmaker) tracks each unit separately. Floor premium adjusts with demand — strong season, bigger premium. Weak season, premium compressed. Price transparency matters: renters compare units; large premium gaps without justification cause pushback.
