While every new apartment compound that opens its doors in the modern age is equipped with a certain number of luxurious facilities, those who are paying top dollar for a high-end apartment must expect more than a swimming pool and gym. Here are some of the most useful amenities to have in 2021.
Although only hotels offer room service around the clock to their guests, new apartment complexes can also jump on this trend and provide meals to residents with ease. One can employ the services of a third-party meal delivery network or have an in-house restaurant that offers prepared meals for those who place an order with an app. This can be both a great opportunity to partner up with neighbouring restaurants or to set up a full-service kitchen that offers daily food options from a set menu.
With more and more vehicle owners switching to sustainable motor vehicles with energy efficiency, the usefulness of an electric vehicle charging hub cannot be overstated. Most apartment residents rely on the nearest gas station or workplace charging hotspots to charge their electrically run vehicles. Apartment compounds can cash in on this lucrative enterprise by creating a charging station within the premises.
Pet-friendly restaurants, public spaces, and yes, apartment buildings are fast becoming the norm. And apartment developers can attract more residents if they also adopt this concept into the design or layout of their compound. A dog park does not need to be large or equipped with special amenities but it is a must-have for those with pets large and small. Incorporating a functioning dog park or pet park within the limits of the building will appeal to pet owners as well as potential renters as very few apartment complexes have this feature.
If there's a deal-breaker in most apartment buildings, it is the unavailability of reliable Wi-Fi access. Internet connectivity is a necessity and not a luxury in the modern age and apartment compounds that provide free or reasonably priced internet connectivity will be a cut above the rest. Cable TV connections are another area apartment administrators can capitalise on as all the residents of the building can be provided with free internet and cable by partnering up with a local company and incorporating the costs involved in the maintenance bills.
As the way of the future, co-working venues are propping up across the city – and across the globe – to provide premium working environments for freelancers and entrepreneurs. Prime Residencies and other similar Battaramulla apartments can also set up their own dedicated workspace inside the building so residents need not venture outside when working from home.
Serving as the perfect venue for community events and even private parties and other celebrations, a rooftop is an invaluable asset for apartment buildings. Outdoor cooking amenities and a bar can make any rooftop the preferred place for social gatherings.
