KONE WINS 50-ELEVATOR ORDER FOR SHENZHEN

KONE has won an order to deliver 50 elevators to GDH City, a new, two-tower mixed-use development in Shenzhen, China, the company announced on December 22. Sometimes referred to as the “Silicon Valley of China”, Shenzhen is a global technology hub and home to more 200-m-plus skyscrapers than any other city in the world. The two GDH City towers, standing 180 and 303 m, will offer business apartments and commercial space, including a 100,000 m2 mall. KONE will deliver 46 MiniSpace™ elevators and four MiniSpace double-deck elevators. The buildings will be equipped with KONE's Destination Control System and E-Link™ monitoring system, which can keep track of the performance of all the equipment in real time from a single location. The contract also includes two years of standard maintenance. The project, under development by Guangdong Land Holdings, is targeted for completion in 2023.
