Bringing the future of residential living to the heart of Soho

Luxury property developer Halamar specializes in high-end residential developments that combine design, craftsmanship, technology, and user experience. At Golden Square, Halamar wanted residents to feel they were "entering the future, but doing it now." To support this vision, KONE implemented Residential Flow solutions that connect building access, elevators, and visitor management into one seamless experience.

“The system has brought value to the apartments by being able to offer potential purchasers comfort and ease of accessibility, which we believe at this level in the market is exactly what the customer wants.”
