Some luxury condo developers add landing pads for flying cars

Uber and Airbus prepare to introduce personal transportation drones, therefore landing pads are emerging as the latest futuristic amenity at condominiums for the wealthiest buyers.

For example, three luxury condos will feature flying cars landing pads in Miami, where 1 percent would be able to travel by air while the other 99% are stuck in traffic congestion.

“These flying-car projects are the real deal,” Dan Kodsi, a Miami condo developer and recreational pilot, told the New York Post. “They are funded. NASA is involved. It’s not just science fiction anymore.”

Personal transportation drones developed by Uber and Airbus would operate on the rooftop dock of the Paramount Miami Worldcenter, a 60 story condominium opening next year in downtown Miami.

Ritz-Carlton Residences in Miami Beach, an oceanfront condominium development planned to open next year, will feature a landing pad on a large boat designed for the residents. Furthermore, The One Thousand Museum, a 62 story condominium opening with a rooftop helipad that doubles as an observation deck overlooking Biscayne Bay.

These three developments ensuring flying cars have a price range as high as $11 million at Paramount Miami Worldcenter, $20 million at One Thousand Museum and $40 million at Ritz-Carlton Residences.
