Condo Gardens

Everyone wants private green space, even in city centers

Implications - Green space in city centers continues to be reduced as the trend of building upward continues. Not to let a lack of yard space interfere with the desire to maximize time spent outdoors, high rise developers are installing more rooftop gardens and lounge areas on terraces, a valued feature for modern urbanites.
Trend Themes
1. Rooftop Green Spaces - As people continue to desire private green space in city centers, high rise developers are installing more rooftop gardens and lounge areas on terraces.
2. Rooftop Farming - Milwaukee brings organic produce to the city through rooftop Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs.
3. Rooftop Pools - Architects are taking advantage of rooftops to create dramatic circular pools and provide breathtaking views.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Developers can integrate green and sustainable features as well as rooftop amenities to attract modern urbanites.
2. Agriculture - Urban farming can be expanded beyond rooftop CSAs to incorporate larger rooftop farms to increase local food production.
3. Hospitality - Rooftop amenities such as pools and lounges can be incorporated into hotel design for a unique and luxurious guest experience.
