condominium unit
It includes high-rise buildings, duplexes, townhouses and three-flats.
See following ref.
"Purchasing and owning a condominium unit is somewhat similar to buying and owning a house.
Condominium refers to a method of ownership and not a physical style or type of building. New and existing high-rise buildings, townhouses, duplexes and three-flats can all be condominiums.
When you purchase a unit in a condominium, you become the absolute owner of your unit. You also become a joint-co-owner, with the owners of all the other units in the condominium development, of a share of the land on which the building is located and all areas of the building outside the individual units. All of these areas, which are defined in the Condominium Declaration and are identified on a survey attached to the Declaration, are known as "common elements."
