G-Tech Elevators tells ELEVATOR WORLD it provided a two-elevator system for 288 East 88th Street, a new 24-story residential tower designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Alchemy-ABR and Azur in partnership with Carlyle Group on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Slated for completion in fall 2026, the tower will be served by two overhead traction units that travel at 500 ft min, one with 3500 lb capacity making 25 stops and another with 3000 lb capacity making 23 stops. They have BTS Elevator Package packages along with GAL door equipment, Elsco roller guides, Elevator Controls controllers, Hollister-Whitney governors and safeties and Imperial machines. Reporting on construction progress on July 5, New York YIMBY said that structure will yield 96,543 ft2 with 45 rental units and 2,507 ft2 of ground-level retail. Amenities include a co-working space and a rooftop terrace.
