      I work for a architectural firm, and unfortunately most new high-rise towers, and mid-rise towers, that I see come through my desk prioritize bachelor’s pads, 1 bed, 1 + den, or 2 bedroom usually the second bedroom has no window.

      It simply comes down to developer cost and north american fire codes. Two exits stairwells minimum and a exit every 45 meters.

      This article demonstrates the concept in greater detail.

        Ah that makes more sense, I know there are a lot in the suburbs but I can definitely see it being much less common in highrise or midrise tower apartments.
