A new 59-story office tower in London will use 57 Otis elevators and 10 escalators, representatives for developer Lipton Rogers announced Wednesday.
AXA Investment Managers – Real Assets will oversee the building of Twentytwo, a development on Bishopsgate scheduled for completion in 2019 using the Otis equipment, the company said. Otis is a division of Farmington-based United Technologies Corp.
Designed by PLP Architecture, the building will use 67 state-of-the-art Otis elevators and escalators, including the fastest SkyRise double-deck elevators in Europe, traveling up to 8 metres per second.
Twentytwo is being built by Multiplex on a site just minutes from the new Liverpool Street Crossrail station.
