The first phase of the project was completed in 2007. When finalized, the multifunctional 17- storey complex will include not only offices but also conference halls, a theatre, catering facilities, apartments, retail and sports facilities.
The first phase of FiftyTwoDegrees includes seven KONE elevators, which provide workers and clients with a smooth, comfortable ride. They are also reliably maintained by KONE.
The KONE Polaris™ destination control system was pioneered by KONE for the demanding traffic needs of office buildings. This solution increases capacity, reduces passenger waiting times, and adapts quickly to changing traffic conditions. It increases the handling capacity of an elevator group in a high-rise building by 20 to 100% for incoming traffic during peak periods – but this is not at the expense of passenger comfort. On the contrary, car loads are low, and passenger comfort is high, compared to elevator groups using a conventional control system.
