KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia /PRNewswire/ -- A joint
venture between S P Setia Berhad Group and Dewan Bandaraya Kuala
Lumpur (DBKL), KL Eco City is a colossal mixed-use development
conveniently located in Bangsar, right across Mid Valley City.
The
project sits on about 25 acres of prime land with a total
development value of RM
6 billion. Designed by renowned architects Jerde Partnership
International, GDP Architect, GRA Architect and BEP Akitek, KL Eco
City is aimed at becoming the country's first integrated green
development to earn the Gold certification under the Malaysian
Green Building Index, as well as a US-based LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental) certification.
Schindler was awarded the mobility contract to install 128
elevators and 50 escalators, including 63 Schindler 5500 and 65
Schindler 7000 elevators, to 3 corporate office towers, 1 hotel
serviced apartments tower, 3 boutique office blocks, 1 strata
office tower and a high-end retail podium. The project will be
constructed in phases and is scheduled to complete by year
2020.
The
latest addition to the company's product innovation, the Schindler
5500 combines state-of-the-art engineering, energy efficiency and
high performance to set new industry standards, including a machine
room-less version that can travel up to 50 stories in 50
seconds.
The
Schindler 7000 is Schindler's top-of-the-range elevator for
high-rise buildings. Successfully deployed in numerous landmark
installations across the world, the Schindler 7000 employs smart,
energy efficient technologies. These elevators will transport
passengers to their destinations swiftly and smoothly at speeds of
up to 7 m/s.
Schindler's award winning PORT Technology, the third and latest
generation of the company's series of destination control systems,
will power elevators in 4 office towers. The PORT Technology
not only delivers higher operating efficiency by optimizing
passenger flows, but also provides unprecedented levels of
convenience with a vast array of customization and security
features which have become increasingly in demand for high-end
residential towers and office buildings. PORT's performance
pledge will be highly valued at KL Eco City, which, with a building
area of about 7.5 million square feet, is expected to host about
30,000 occupants.
The
PORT Technology, Schindler's focus on sustainability, as well as
the company's vast experience in being the partner of choice for
first class, large scale developments, were seen as the key factors
behind the contract award.
"KL
Eco City is an ambitious and trendsetting development in which we
are thrilled to play our part. We are thankful for the developers'
decision and recognition of our capabilities and experience in
providing mobility to this landmark project. We are confident that
the set of solutions we have put forward, notably including PORT,
will fully meet the developers' expectations and deliver the
highest levels of performance and convenience to the complex
occupants", says Wei
