KONE has won an order for 32 elevators and 4 escalators to be installed in the three buildings of a mixed-use building complex under construction at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC).
Built on just over 1 square kilometre of land, One Central includes nearly 300,000 m2 of Grade A1 offices and retail space together with five, four and three star hotels, serviced apartments and a club and lofts tower.
The office buildings are designed to be of the highest environmental standards and they are targeting LEED Platinum status.
Twenty two KONE MiniSpace elevators and ten KONE MonoSpace elevators will enable smooth people flow in all of the twelve towers, which range in height from 12 meters to 88 meters. The KONE E-Link remote monitoring system will provide real-time information on equipment status and performance.
KONE did not disclose the value of the order.
The number of green or carbon-neutral buildings across the Middle East and North Africa region is on the rise, says Pierre Liautaud, executive vice president for KONE South Europe, Middle East and Africa. Were excited to be part of this development with our energy-efficient solutions.
Central One is expected to be completed in 2017. Al Futtaim Carillion is the main contractor of the project which is designed by Hopkins Architects.
