A new study from the Canadian Medical Association Journal has concluded that survival rates from cardiac arrest decrease the higher up the building a person lives. They studied over 8,000- adults who suffered heart attacks between January 2007 and December 2012 in the Metro Toronto Area.
Results were in, as follows, for the survival rates:
→ 4.2% for people living below the 3^rd floor level
→ 2.6% for people living on or above the 3^rd floor and up to the 15^th floor
→ 0.9% survival rate for people above the 16^th floor
→ 0% survival rate for those living above the 25^th floor
Looks like the obvious delay to getting to the patient – building elevators – is lowering the residents’ chance of survival. No matter how rich, poor or simply in-between, the higher the floor you lived on, the lower the survival rate.

Will this eventually impact the Vancouver market?
In Downtown Vancouver, the floor elevation usually adds $3,000- to $5,000- per floor, making an 8^th floor level condo to be likely at least $40,000- cheaper when compared to an identical 20^th floor condo investment.
Many Buyers already show preferences for lower floors
Some do it for safety reasons, as the Fire Dept.’s ladder only reaches the 5^th floor in Vancouver, while others because of height aversion. Factoring in that survival rates drop dramatically the higher up you live in a high-rise, will most definitely be a factor with specific buyers, people downsizing from a “house” situation and Baby Boomers.
