KONE wins an order for a multiuse complex District 8 in Jakarta

KONE, an innovative leader in elevators and escalators, has received an order for 131 elevators and escalators for District 8, a commercial and residential use development in Jakarta's business district in Indonesia. Containing a shopping mall as well as seven tower buildings reaching up to 250 meters in height and comprising offices and apartments, District 8 is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.

To increase transportation capacity and to shorten travel time to the District 8 building towers with up to sixty floors, KONE will supply for the project 50 KONE MiniSpace(TM) elevators, eight KONE MonoSpace elevators and 28 TravelMaster(TM) escalators. A special feature of the order, 18 KONE DoubleDeck elevators will be installed to the office building towers of District 8 with KONE Polaris(TM) hybrid destination control systems and integrated access control system. Additionally, four KONE JumpLift elevators will make the District 8 construction process safer and faster with reduced down-time and earlier closing of the facade.

"With a population of 28 million, Jakarta is one of the world's largest urban areas and we look forward to being part of reshaping the city's rapidly developing landscape with our energy-saving solutions. We welcome Agung Sedayu Group's confidence in allowing us to bring new people flow solutions to one of Indonesia's most prominent building projects and facilitate smooth people flow already during construction time, " comments Noud Veeger, Executive Vice President for KONE in Asia Pacific and Middle East.

District 8 is developed by Agung Sedayu Group and it has been designed by FORREC and PT Airmas Asri.
