TEI Provides Five-Elevator System for New Manhattan Residential Tower

TEI Group tells ELEVATOR WORLD it is providing a five-elevator system for 250 East 83rd Street, a 31-story residential building rising in the Yorkville section of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Designed by SLCE Architects and developed by The Torkian Group, the tower will offer 128 residences and be served by two passenger machine-room-less (MRL) traction elevators, one roped hydraulic service elevator, one roped hole-less hydraulic elevator and one low-rise MRL elevator. In April, New York YIMBY reported the 370-ft-tall structure had reached the halfway point, with Cauldwell Wingate Co. as general contractor. SLCE’s main rendering shows a façade of earth-toned brick with floor-to-ceiling windows separated by dark mullions. Art Deco-inspired setbacks will likely be topped by private terraces. Topping out is expected before the end of the year.
