G-Tech Elevator Associates LLC, founded in 2010 by Brock Glenn and his father, mobilized on-site at Manhattan’s Flatiron Building in April to tackle the bulk of the elevator work for conversion of the historic 22-story landmark into 60 residential units. G-Tech previously removed eight elevators as developer The Brodsky Organization completely guts the inside of the building and builds a new core while preserving much of the structure. G-Tech’s scope of work consists of installing three new machine-room-less elevators and modernizing a sidewalk elevator. All units will travel at 500 ft/min and have BTS Elevator Packages systems including Elsco roller guides, Hollister-Whitney governors and safeties, GAL door equipment, Imperial machines, Monitor fixtures and MCE controllers, Glenn said. The system includes a 24-stop unit with a capacity of 2100 lb, a 25-stop unit with a capacity of 3500 lb and a 22-stop unit with a capacity of 2100 lb.
