THYSSENKRUPP TWIN ELEVATORS IN PARIS LA DÉFENSE TOWER
HEKLA, a 220-m-tall, 47-story tower designed by Jean Nouvel in Paris' La Défense business district, will be outfitted with 12 thyssenkrupp TWIN elevator units, each consisting of two cabins moving in one shaft. Codeveloped by AG Real Estate and Hines, the tower will have 66,000 m2 of office space to house approximately 5,800 people, a 2,500-m2 terrace, restaurants and a business center. Designed to the highest environmental standards, it is scheduled for completion by 2022. Besides the TWIN elevators that travel up to 7 mps, the order also includes a climbing elevator for use during construction and 12 conventional elevator and escalator units. Following D2 and Trinity towers, both in La Défense; Odean Tower in Monte Carlo, Monaco; and Incity Tower in Lyon, France, HEKLA is thyssenkrupp's fifth building in the region implementing TWIN.
