So for winks and giggles I went back to the beginning of this thread.Spanish skyscraper going up — but without an elevator?
If you are thinking of investing in an apartment at the Intempo skyscraper in Benidorm, Spain, be prepared to bring some good walking shoes: Its builders forgot a working elevator, says the Spanish news site El Pais.
According to a story surfaced on Gizmodo, the luxury high-rise tower, which started construction in 2007, was originally designed for 20 floors. But the the developers decided to push the design to include 47 floors with 269 homes. When completed, it will be Benidorm’s highest building at 650 feet.
There seemed to be just one important oversight: In going up to 47 floors, designers forgot to take into account room for an elevator shaft. El Pais reports that the architects on the project resigned in May 2012.
The building “represents a long story of incompetence,†according to El Pais. The coastal town had a building boom that led to the nickname “Beniyork†for its skyline of high-rises.
But then the recession hit. Intempo’s developer, which had once advertised the building as the “banner of the future,†and the bank that provided the loan for construction both went bankrupt in 2009. The building has cost €100 million so far.
“We had heard reports on the elevator last week when we listed the building to generate advance interest,†wrote Terry Walker, a spokesperson for Walker Property Spain’s London office, in an email to Yahoo News.
“In the light of the other problems that have been overcome at Intempo, we would be confident that a solution can be found,†Walker said.
Already 35 percent of the apartments have been sold to international buyers — the site describes the abodes as "Dubai style luxury." The building is 95 percent complete, and it is expected to be done by spring 2014.
Expect, too, a built-in exercise regime.
It looks like the OP really did have the elevators included, but there was some mayhem with the project and on site that contributed to the confusion.

A construction elevator collapsed and killed a bunch of people while the thing was being built, and construction outpaced the design. I don’t know how the hell that happens, but it seems like some work may have had to be corrected that led to the elevator rumor.
It reminds me of the Mugatu tower from Zoolander.

One of the hits of Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch was I Need Money. Mark obviously made a lot of money. In 2009 he paid $8,250,000 for a six-acre lot in Beverly Hills and then had a 30,500-square-foot, 12-bedroom, 20-bathroom mansion built on it. The mansion is now up for sale.

But at least he was smart enough to know a mansion should always be built from the ground up and never from the top down. 
Here is the Beverly Hills mansion Wahlberg put up for sale in 2015. It had only seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Poor baby!

I love how people turn an imaginary home into something of value. I know the house pictured in the intro physically exists, but it has nothing to do with the show, so there's really nothing of extra value in the property. Same with the Bull & Finch used in the opening for Cheers. It became a major tourist spot, but it has nothing to do with the show.If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint echoes of "How rude!" and "Cut...it...out!" and "You got it, dude!"

But the best of all is the Brady Bunch home. HGTV went so far as to find the promo house, tear it apart, and completely rebuild it to make it look like the home on the recording set. Just asinine.

I'd like to see them recreate the Flintstones house, with a 20' x 20' exterior, but an interior that goes on endlessly during chase scenes.

Yes, and they also added a wing onto the back of the house that you can't see from the street. It contains all the other rooms that wouldn't actually fit into that house, like Alice's bedroom.
