Schindler Elevators for Tower Rising in NYC’s Flatiron District

Schindler tells ELEVATOR WORLD it provided the elevator system for One Madison Avenue in NYC’s Flatiron District. The OEM provided 25 Schindler 7000 elevators, PORT technology, four hydraulic units manufactured by a third party and one Schindler 5500 elevator. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox and developed by SL Green, the National Pension Service of Korea and Hines, the 27-story One Madison Avenue includes the gut renovation of an existing eight-story structure and the addition of a 19-story tower, according to New York YIMBY. In May, YIMBY observed exterior work was nearing completion and the project is five weeks ahead of schedule. Providing 1.4 million ft² of office space and ground-level retail, it is slated for completion in October.
