as four KONE MonoSpace® elevators and four KONE TravelMaster(TM) 110 escalators
with a rise of up to 11 meters.
Equipment will be managed using the KONE E-Link remote monitoring system, and
the 14 gearless passenger elevators in the building will feature an energy-
conserving standby mode.
180 Ann Street, which will rise to a height of 144 meters, will house 57,465
square meters of premium office space, and 1,634 square meters of retail space
over two podium levels. The main contractor for the project, due to be completed
in 2015, is WATPAC. Daisho Co Ltd is the building owner.
