Elevators are worth having in almost any building with two or more floors that you want to let out in an area where there is a good level of demand. Be it a shopping mall, office block or apartment block having lifts will increase the prices you can ask for premises or apartments on upper floors. You of course have to install the lift but if this isn’t going to be too much of a major project you can cover the cost within a few years, the bigger the building of course and the more floors there are the quicker you can get your money back to the point where some blocks could make the money back in months. Elevators are useful for much more than avoiding the stairs if you are either disabled or just too lazy, mind you if a business wants to be seen as disability friendly an elevator is a good idea. Elevators can carry much more than people though, it can carry goods and equipment. Some shops may need a good-sized lifts or designated goods lift to move their products. In offices moving around equipment, filing and other items is made easier by an elevator and of course moving into anywhere is far easier if there is a good sized elevator that can carry their furniture and boxes.
