| Kone to deliver elevators for Tower 185 in Frankfurt Finnish lift and escalator maker Kone won a major order to supply and install all elevators and escalators for the new Tower 185 in Frankfurt, Germany. Kone will deliver 28 elevators and 2 escalators in total to the 185 meter skyscraper, which will be built in the "Europaviertel" (European Quarter), one of the main developments in the city. The new Tower 185 building will include office and commercial premises. The concept and design of the building have been made by architect Prof. Christoph Mäckler. Vivico, owner and project developer for the building, aims to save at least 25% of the energy consumed by an average skyscraper and intends to have the project licensed with the LEED Gold certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
