It seems simple enough, and when I pressed about the added weight of the vehicles he stated with a curb weight of not more than 4k lbs the vehicles themselves (presuming not more than 4 or 8 per floor) really would not add much in the way of weight in relation to the weight of the steel and concrete used for each floor.
My theory is that only the penthouses have this luxury, it is not available to every single condo, my presumption based on the fact that elevators designed to transport something very heavy and very valuable (and also inherrantly very dangerous if anything gets weird/ustable) are typically very slow, and rich people hate waiting for things like elevators moving their cars. Mike says it's not feasible for there to be more than 1 chute per side of the building, so you could be on the top floor and literally waiting hours while the people below you also wait in line to get your car out. I just do not see this happening, thus it's much more logical that only the best of the best enjoy such a unique luxury.
As I hate leaving questions half answered (or, in this case, pretty much guessed at) I decided to just go to the source and emailed
admin@bkkcondo.com, will copy and paste a more official response when I have one, so far I got the following:
