Which is why KONE was involved from the very start of the project as both a consultant and an advisor, supporting the customer’s executives in their decision making while providing attractive solutions. KONE’s proven ability to provide solutions in landmark projects across the world gives customers the reassurance that they are in good hands, notes Bandala. The customer agrees. “Torre Anseli is an iconic project for Mexico,” says Carlos Salame of the CINSA construction group that developed the project. “It is the first building with a complete set of KONE Access solution. It has increased our rentable area to our satisfaction.” If the feedback from the customer in this case is anything to go by, KONE is definitely in for the long haul. “We have clearly demonstrated our status and experience in important and complex projects such as Arcos Bosques I and II, Plaza Carso, and Pabellon M. And we have some other very interesting projects coming soon in Mexico City, in which we are delivering the best People Flow experience, including Torre Manacar, Torre Reforma 509 and Torre Latitud,” emphasizes Bandala. The real estate market in Mexico looks bright in the coming years, with many old buildings offering opportunities for redevelopment. And KONE is also preparing for increased digitalization of its maintenance services, including offering customers predictive maintenance solutions. / Torre Anseli – Mexico 21
