Problems solved by technology

As a result, the cost of developing land in central core areas has proven to be a significant barrier to entry for most developers, particularly where multi-family residential developments are concerned.
In order to overcome the high cost of land in such areas, virtually all projects built in major metropolitan areas during this decade have resorted to various undesirable and expensive methods.
The latter solution is substantially more expensive and generally results in a less desirable, and therefore less marketable, end product.
While residential structures with integral, private ga

Abstract

A high-efficiency residential structure includes a set of dwelling units, wherein a portion of said dwelling units are first-floor dwelling units and a portion of said dwelling units are second-floor dwelling units; a set of garages comprising a plurality of parking spaces, wherein said dwelling units and said garages are disposed within a footprint associated with said residential structure; a set of interior passageways, each of said interior passageways directly linking one of said dwelling units to one of said garages such that the site-density, yield, direct-access ratio, and efficiency of the structure is substantially optimized.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 721,258, filed Nov. 22, 2000.[0002] 1. Technical Field[0003] The present invention relates, generally, to dwelling structures and, more particularly, multi-story dwellings (e.g., apartment buildings and the like) incorporating a cost effective, efficient, and high unit-density attached garage configuration.[0004] 2. Background Information[0005] The price of vacant land in dense, urbanized areas has increased dramatically in recent years. As a result, the cost of developing land in central core areas has proven to be a significant barrier to entry for most developers, particularly where multi-family residential developments are concerned.[0006] In order to overcome the high cost of land in such areas, virtually all projects built in major metropolitan areas during this decade have resorted to various undesirable and expensive methods. Such methods include, for example, high-density housing projects deve...
