Skyline Provides Elevator for New Brooklyn Building

Brooklyn, NY-based Skyline Elevators tells ELEVATOR WORLD it provided a duplex, passenger, machine-room-less (MRL) elevator for 1 Wythe Avenue, a seven-story commercial building nearing completion in the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Industrial Business Zone in Brooklyn. Serving nine floors, including the roof, the elevator has a capacity of 3500 lb and travels 109 ft at a speed of 350 ft/min. Suppliers for this job included Hollister-Whitney (safeties), GAL (door equipment), Fundamental Elevator Solutions (steel, rails and brackets), Imperial Electric (machine) and Elevator Systems, Inc. (controller). “We are fortunate to collaborate with some of the very best in the elevator industry,” Skyline observed. “Their commitment to quality and excellence has been instrumental in our success.” New York YIMBY reported in August that the building was nearly fully clad in its red brick façade and grid of floor-to-ceiling windows ahead of expected completion by the end of the year.
