The balcony-based systems are a different kettle of fish, though. 100+ individual AC units to install and maintain -- but it allows you to move the AC operating costs to the individual tenants, making these solutions attractive primarily to rental buildings.

Seems to me it’s attractive for condos as well. Even though the occupants collectively own the building, there is still a significant divergence of interest between the condo corporation and the individual owners.

I don’t know how much repair is done, but one convenient aspect of individual units is that it seems to me any problem can be solved by replacing the whole unit, and this is probably an afternoon job. So the overall disruption to the building is much less.
