multi-storey

Having multiple floors

Multi-storey describes a building with multiple floors or levels stacked vertically, as opposed to a single-storey structure.

The term is primarily British spelling, with Americans typically using multi-story.

It appears most often in compound nouns like multi-storey car park, the British equivalent of a parking garage.

The new multi-storey development will include offices and apartments.
