Definition & Meaning

The term quadrominium refers to a type of residential building that contains four separate apartments or living units. Each unit is owned individually, allowing for a shared ownership structure among the four owners. Typically, each owner has access to their unit for three months of the year and is responsible for one-quarter of the overall costs associated with the property, including maintenance and utilities.
