KONE, a global
leader in the elevator and escalator industry, has been awarded the
contract to equip the new development at the former Keppel Towers
site with a total of 23 elevators. The new commercial development
will comprise a 32-storey Grade A office tower and ancillary retail
spaces. KONE will provide the redeveloped building with 17 KONE
MiniSpace™ DX elevators and 6 KONE MonoSpace® DX elevators,
which have built-in connectivity functions.
The elevators serving the office floors will be installed with KONE
Destination Control System that takes into account desired
destination floors and the number of waiting passengers to
significantly improve efficiency and convenience, as well as
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow potential future
integration with the building's in-house application or other third
party systems.
"KONE is pleased to be able to join Keppel Land in the
redevelopment of Keppel Towers, as we have always recognized the
importance of energy efficient, innovation led people flow
solutions without compromising performance," said Samer Halabi,
Executive Vice President, Asia-Pacific at KONE. "We are excited to
partner with Keppel Land to achieve their vision of a future-proof,
sustainable, and intelligent commercial property."
The order was booked in the third quarter of 2021, and the
redevelopment of Keppel Towers is projected to be completed in
2024.
