Building Smarter: Why Developers Are Choosing the Savaria Eclipse Elevator for Multi-Unit Homes
As residential design evolves to meet the needs of modern homeowners, developers and builders are increasingly turning to smart, space-efficient solutions that add long-term value. One standout feature gaining momentum in multi-unit construction is the Savaria Eclipse elevator—a machine room-less, customizable residential lift that delivers both performance and appeal.
Why the Eclipse Is a Game-Changer for Multi-Unit Projects
The Eclipse is engineered for flexibility and efficiency, making it ideal for townhomes, duplexes, and low-rise multi-unit buildings. Unlike traditional hydraulic elevators, the Eclipse uses a counterweighted chain drive system that eliminates the need for a separate machine room, saving valuable square footage and simplifying installation.
Builder-Friendly Installation
- No machine room required – reduces construction complexity and cost
- Compact hoistway footprint – ideal for tight layouts or retrofit scenarios
- Flexible configurations – supports up to 6 stops and 50 feet of travel
Developer Advantages
- Increased marketability – Elevators are a premium feature that attract buyers seeking aging-in-place solutions or luxury upgrades
- Boosted property value – Homes with elevators command higher resale prices and broaden buyer appeal
- Code compliance made easier – Eclipse elevators meet national safety standards and can be tailored to meet local building codes
Design Customization
- Choose from a wide range of cab styles, finishes, and doors to match your project’s aesthetic
- Optional automatic sliding doors for a sleek, modern look
- Available in standard or heavy-duty configurations to suit various occupancy needs
Smart Investment for Long-Term ROI
Adding a residential elevator like the Eclipse isn’t just about accessibility—it’s about future-proofing your builds. With more homeowners prioritizing convenience, mobility, and aging-in-place features, elevators are becoming a must-have in multi-level living. The Eclipse offers a cost-effective way to meet these expectations without compromising design or budget.
