A street away in the area, a similar building was already constructed and the apartments were sold as condominiums. Everything without problems
The only problem there was, it had no elevator
A street away the area can already look quite different. The development plan is no longer accessible now, but I only remember one street line that was not further built to the west - except for your row of houses.
But I wouldn't care about that either: of course, I would be annoyed if 4 balcony residents/units were looking onto my terrace, and that is exactly what development plans are for, so that personal rights are not violated.
I have my doubts whether the staircase in that form is permissible. I have never seen this in a new multi-family house - a stairwell with spiral steps.
Yes, I have. Not uncommon in small multi-unit buildings.
