Otis tells ELEVATOR WORLD it provided a four-unit elevator system for Edgemere Commons B1, a 15-story affordable housing complex designed by Aufgang Architects and developed by Tishman Speyer’s TS Communities at 5119 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, Queens, NYC. Three of the Gen3 Edge^TM elevators have a triplex configuration and make 13 stops, while the other has a simple configuration and makes two stops. New York YIMBY reported on May 7 that an affordable housing lottery had launched for the property, which boasts 237 residences, 8,000 ft² of retail and 7,500 ft² of community family space.
