How many lifts in the tower? Does this tower have a service lift? Godrej MSR City
Lifts set the rhythm of everyday life. They decide whether the school run is smooth, if grocery bags reach your door without drama, and how long guests wait in the lobby. At Godrej MSR City, Shettigere, the tower cores are planned with multiple elevators so people flow and goods movement don't clash. While the township spans many towers across phases, the typical core configuration buyers see is three lifts per residential core: two passenger elevators for daily rides and one dedicated service or stretcher-friendly lift for bulky loads and emergencies. The exact count can vary a little by tower and phase, so always check the floor plate for your stack before you book.
- Typical count per core: 3 lifts
- Break-up: 2 passenger lifts + 1 service/stretcher lift
- Why this matters: passenger queues stay shorter at peak hours, and heavy items move without blocking daily rides
- What can vary: core size, units-per-floor, and lift speeds by tower or phase
- Move-ins and furniture
- Refrigerators, washing machines, and large parcels
- Stretcher or wheelchair access during medical situations
- Housekeeping carts and maintenance teams
In most modern towers, the service lift opens close to the lobby service corridor rather than the main seating area. That keeps the passenger experience quiet and clean. Ask for the cabin size and clear door width of the service lift in your tower.
Two passenger cars handle most of the up-and-down traffic. The service lift absorbs "peaks" caused by deliveries, online orders, and renovations. The result is a lower average wait time through the day. It also reduces wear on passenger cars, which means fewer breakdowns and fewer callouts for maintenance over the years.
- Power backup for elevators so essential vertical movement continues during outages
- Automatic Rescue Device (ARD) that brings the car to the nearest floor and opens the doors if there's a power dip
- Access control and CCTV at lift lobbies as part of campus security
- Clear signage for the service elevator and emergency routes
- Units per core: A core with four homes per floor usually feels generous with three lifts.
- Car speed and capacity: Higher speeds cut wait times in taller towers.
- Separation of traffic: Keeping a dedicated service lift protects the passenger experience.
- Your tower floor plate for the binding lift count
- Specification annexure for backup and safety features
- Handover handbook for operating rules and maintenance schedules
- Pre-booked slots for the service lift
- Protective padding inside the car
- Refundable deposit for accidental damage
- Loading bay close to the lift for trucks and vans
The stretcher-friendly service lift supports wheelchair users and seniors who prefer wider door openings. Check that the service lift lobby is ramped, level, and close to seating in case someone needs a short rest.
