SCHINDLER PROVIDING LIFTS FOR ONE OF SAN FRANCISCO’S TALLEST
The John Buck Co. has selected Schindler to supply and install 20 elevators, including 18 7000 high-rise Occupant Evacuation Operation (OEO) units equipped with PORT destination-dispatch technology, for the 43-story, 605-ft.-tall Park Tower at Transbay in San Francisco. Park Tower will be the first building to implement Schindler's OEO solution, which interfaces with the building's fire-protection system to facilitate faster evacuation. Upon completion, Park Tower will be among the tallest buildings in the city.
STRIKING RESIDENTIAL TOWER FOR DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER
Concord Pacific plans to start construction soon on The Arc, a 29-story, 88-m-tall residential tower in the Yaletown district of downtown Vancouver, Canada, SkyRise Cities reports. Its striking design by Vancouver's Kirkor Architects + Planners features twin towers connected by a three-story platform bridge containing amenities, the most notable of which is a glass-bottomed pool. Located at the foot of the Cambie Street Bridge, the building would contain approximately 590 residential units. Concord hopes its prime location near shopping and public transit will attract buyers.
PRIVATE ELEVATORS, “POOR DOORS” FOR SPIRE LONDON
Shanghai’s Greenland Group is forging ahead with sales of residential units in its 67-story, 235-m-tall Spire London near Canary Wharf, but not without controversy, The Guardian reports. Ninety-six of 861 units are to be “affordable,” but there will be so-called “poor doors” for residents who live in those units, as well as private elevators for those who live in the building’s ultra-expensive penthouses. Greenland says all residents will have access to Spire London’s third-floor amenities, which are to include game and meeting rooms.
