KONE Corporation, press release, March 12, 2019
KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, will
equip Reem Mall, a world-class retail, leisure, dining and
entertainment destination currently being built on Reem Island on
the northeast coast of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Reem
Island is a planned residential and commercial community commonly
referred to as "the new Abu Dhabi". The island, adjacent to Abu
Dhabi's dense Central Business District and linked to the mainland
by 6 bridges, is expected to be home to 200,000 people once the
development is complete.
With 186,000 m2 of gross leasable area, Reem Mall is set to feature
100 restaurants, department stores, one of the largest hypermarket
space in the region, as well as unique entertainment and
edutainment features - including Snow Park Abu Dhabi. The 10,000 m2
attraction is poised to become an icon for Reem Mall and the Abu
Dhabi region.
KONE will equip Reem mall with 50 KONE Mono Space® elevators, 60
TravelMaster™ 110 escalators, and 10 TravelMaster™ 115 inclined
autowalks. The KONE E-Link™ equipment monitoring system will enable
the performance of all of the elevators, escalators and autowalks
across the property to be monitored in real time from a single
location.
"Our mission is to improve the flow of urban life, and it is very
exciting to contribute to the creation of this new urban hub in the
heart of the 'new Abu Dhabi'," said Pierre Liautaud, executive vice
president for KONE South Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The project is being developed by Al Farwaniya Property
Developments, a partnership between Agility, Agility affiliate
United Projects for Aviation Services Company (UPAC), and National
Real Estate Company (NREC). The main contractor is Itinera
Ghantoot, a UAE-Italian joint venture. Mace is the project
management consultant, while Dewan Architects & Engineers are
the technical architects and CallisonRTKL are the design architects
for Reem Mall.
KONE booked the order in the third quarter of 2018.
