condos (short for "condominiums" in the US)

El término PH (en plural phs) es cuando una casa o terreno es dividido en dos o más partes para hacer más viviendas. PH se diferencia de un edificio de departamentos en que puede ser de una sola planta o dos en cuyo caso se la denomina PH que quiere decir "dividido en Propiedad Horizontal". En los Estados Unidos se diría "condos" (por propiedad con-dominada, o sea con el Dominio (título) compartido entre varios)

Apparently, the English letters "PH" are used! I realize the question is Spanish to English. You may wish to check and see if your document has other English acronyms. Just an idea!

Sorry, but from a technical point of view I disagree with the glossary entry: "PHs" is "penthouses".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penthouse_apartment
A penthouse apartment or penthouse is an apartment that is on one of the highest floors of an apartment building. Penthouses are typically differentiated from other apartments by luxury features.

Condo and Apartment simply describe the ownership. A Condo is a unit owned by an individual owner, who pays a fee for the building to be managed and who has a say in the building's rules along with other owners. An apartment has one owner for all the units. Either can be rented out. Some condos are termed "luxury" with doormen, granite counters, plush landscaping, etc. Some apartments are too. You can't generalize. It's just how it is owned. Many apartments have been converted to condos with no physical changes.

A loft is a unit with high ceilings and few walls, often in a rehabbed industrial building. Some lofts feature huge windows, exposed brick, exposed pipes, etc. But lofts can be built new, too.

A penthouse is generally the highest unit in a building. Again, some are condos, some are apartments, some are luxury, some are just the top-most unit. But there shouldn't be anyone living above the penthouse.

TransLM, it is your choice, obviously. Thanks.

Thanks, Taña -- as always
Thanks, Taña. Condos made more sense to me in the context. But many seem to agree with you based on the entries above ;)
