59 Otis Units for Massive Montreal Mixed-Use Development

Otis tells ELEVATOR WORLD it received an order to supply 59 vertical-transportation units — including 35 Gen3^TM elevators with sustainable ReGen^TM drives — for the Royalmount mixed-use project being developed by Carbonleo in the Town of Mount Royal, northwest of Downtown Montreal on the Island of Montreal. “This project focuses on sustainable development and green mobility, which we are proud to contribute to with our ReGen drives that revert energy back into the building,” Otis stated. “The carbon-neutral project will eventually include restaurants and offices.” CBC News reported in March that the first phase of Royalmount has a CAD1.5 billion (US$1.07 billion) price tag, and that the pandemic delayed the planned opening by approximately a year — to summer 2023. At the intersection of highways 15 and 40, Royalmount in the long run aims to include more than 3,000 homes (mostly condos in at least 50-story towers), upscale businesses like Louis Vuitton and parking.
