Developer/Builder Charles Meng of Charles Meng Properties, Inc. has built an exquisite home on an exclusive property on historic Lost Mountain with "a view of Alabama on a clear day"...and we're 50-60 miles from the Alabama border.

ThyssenKrupp - The Lev Residential Elevator

Mr. Meng has mentioned to me that he is having a ThyssennKrupp elevator installed. The elevator model type to be installed is The Lev, in my best estimation, and by process of elimination from the ThyssenKrupp website choices of residential elevators.
