triplexes

Three-unit residential buildings

Triplexes is the plural of triplex, a building divided into three separate living units, each typically with its own entrance.

The term appears most often in real estate listings and zoning discussions: The developer converted the old mansion into triplexes.

A triplex can also be a three-screen movie theater or, in technical contexts, a system operating in three channels simultaneously.
