That's because Holborn cheaped out and didn't install these brushes or mechanisms in the elevators so when you're going up, they 'shake' and 'rumble' incredibly during day to day usage.
Property manager said strata is looking to installing these but they are quite costly at around 10-20k per elevator.
The window bulletin is only when there are high winds.
Been at Shangri La numerous times, both estates and live/work units; no issues with shaking or rumbling whatsoever. Also, the lack of a dedicated freight elevator is a problem (well there is one that serves both residential and hotel but essentially leaves the residential portion with two elevators when a move is in process and during peak hours (when everyone is going to work), sometimes you'll be waiting for ten minutes for the elevator to your floor, which is totally not acceptable for what this project was marketed as imo.
Shangri La has two elevators dedicated for estates (around 40ish units) three for live work, one freight for everything (which can be used when there's no move but smells like trash as it's used for garbage removal).
Also, strata fees aren't that high for a property of this segment; it's at $0.75 psf right now. Shangri La is at around $1.25 psf and there's actually still an ongoing lawsuit with the developer regarding hotel cost sharing. Currently, free EV charging at Trump but I believe you have to pay at Shangri La; same as move ins, free at Trump, couple hundred non refundable at Shangri La - even for a delivery of just one large item and not a full move in.
Do you think part of the reason for this would be how slender the building is vs how much 'fatter' Shangri La is? Not to mention how much more rigid the structure at Shangri La would be given its denser core. Also, Trump has two 'water sloshing tanks' on the roof similar to a tuned mass damper already.
**oops, just read the article and noticed it already mentioned the shaking; apologies for the redundancy**
