One Bloor East
Case overview
One Bloor East is a 75-story residential condominium tower located at one of Canada’s best-known intersections in downtown Toronto. As the tower rose, workers risked losing valuable time waiting for transportation to higher floors. To keep construction moving efficiently and safely, developer Great Gulf selected KONE JumpLift™ elevators, reducing workers’ travel time to higher floors.
