The history of high-rise buildings dates back to ancient times, with the first known tall structure being a ziggurat in Mesopotamia, built around 2100 BC. Since then, many other civilizations have constructed their versions of skyscrapers and towers throughout history.
In the 19th century, steel-frame construction allowed for taller structures than ever before, leading to an explosive increase in building heights across Europe and North America. Today, some of the tallest buildings are located in Asia and the Middle East due to advances in engineering technology that allow them to reach unprecedented heights.
In Africa, high-rise buildings are gaining ground too, and that is why we are adopting high-rise buildings as our prototype, as this will be further developed to meet the needs of those seeking a luxurious and modern living experience.
In this blog, we’ll explore seven exciting benefits of living in a high-rise building and why it is such a great model for our dream city (Havana city).
What Are High-rise Buildings
High-rise buildings are tall structures that typically have more than 10 stories and can reach heights of up to several hundred feet.
They usually contain residential, commercial or office space, as well as recreational areas such as swimming pools, gyms, rooftop gardens and other amenities.
If you’re wondering what mobility features these buildings have then we are in synergy. High-rises often feature elevators for easy access between floors and may also include parking garages on the lower levels.
7 Benefits of High-Rise Buildings
There are always speculations on the benefits of high-rise buildings; today we get to get our facts right as we’ll be exploring the benefits of high-rise buildings. So, grab a snack and enjoy the ride!
1. Unbeatable Views
High rises offer some of the most stunning and astounding views in any city. Little wonder why people travel at length just for the view. From the top of these towering structures, you can see far beyond what is visible from ground level.
At different points, we enjoy taking in spectacular sights while enjoying modern conveniences. That’s why this type of accommodation is an amazing option for you!
2. Secure, Convenient Living
Secure yet convenient living is just one more reason why so many people choose to live in high-rise buildings today! Living in a high-rise building can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only do you get to enjoy the convenience of living close to work, shopping, and entertainment venues, but you also benefit from enhanced security measures that make your home safer than ever before.
Pssst… come closer; for Havana city, our buildings will be equipped with state-of-the-art security systems such as video surveillance cameras, key card access points at entryways and elevators, and 24/7 onsite staff who monitor activities throughout the building. This ensures that residents feel safe and secure at home. If you’re asked how you know this much before the actual premiere of this project, just remember, a little birdy told you so.
3. Modern Landscaping
Not to sound cliche, but high rise buildings are often seen as a symbol of progress and development. However, many people are unaware that these towering structures can also be beneficial for the environment.
Through modern landscaping and architectural designs, high-rise buildings have the potential to increase green space and improve energy efficiency. Green space can be created by incorporating trees, shrubs, grasses, flowers, and other plants into the area surrounding the building or complex, resulting in more oxygen production and a decrease in pollutants like carbon dioxide.
Renewable energy sources, like solar panels on the roofs or walls of skyscrapers, can also be used to reduce reliance on nonrenewable sources while still providing enough power for everyday needs.
4. Reduced Carbon Footprint
High-rise buildings have become increasingly popular due to their ability to reduce carbon footprint. This is done by utilising less electricity, water, and oil for heating and cooling. This ultimately helps to reduce energy consumption in the home as well as outside it since these buildings also cut down the hours and energy spent on transportation.
We definitely do not have to wait on Drake to flip the switch, it already got better! Transportation costs in high rises, almost ground level.
5. Reduced Noise Pollution and Easier Maintenance
Sound, rhythm, melody… Yes!
Noise… where did that even come from?
High-rise buildings also help to reduce noise pollution. The higher the building is, the less noise it creates. This means that there is less sound pollution that can affect people living around these areas.
The building process also helps to create more jobs for people who might not have jobs opportunities.
Last but definitely not all– high rises allow for more space in each unit of land due to their larger size. This is compared to normal buildings which are smaller in size per unit area of land or space compared to their height.
6. Investment Opportunities for Homeowners
Living in high rises comes with a lot of potential. For one, you have the opportunity to rent out your unit to tenants, which can provide a steady stream of income.
Additionally, the value of your unit is likely to appreciate over time, providing you with a solid investment. Talk about foresight, yeah that’s what we preach!
7. Increased Property Values
When we talk about the future of real estate development, we can’t make two sentences without referencing high-rise buildings simply because of their significant advantages.
One of the most significant advantages is that they offer the potential for increased property values. This is because high-rise buildings are often located in prime locations, such as in the heart of a city or in a desirable neighbourhood.
Subsequently, high-rise buildings often offer spectacular views, which can add to the value of the property.
We at Havvest have adopted this model for our vision because it is not only beneficial to the people and for the people but, it is also beneficial to our environment which we have to protect so that the generations to come can also enjoy a city which was once a vision, now becoming our reality.
