KONE to equip Lodha The Park premium residential development in Mumbai, India
KONE Corporation, press release, May 8, 2018
Lodha The Park is the largest high-rise residential development in India, and the site comprises an extensive range of comforts. These include an outdoor cinema, game courts, children's play area, rock climbing wall, cricket ground, fruit orchard, vegetable garden, and a number of swimming pools.
KONE will equip the Lodha The Park residential towers with 48 KONE MiniSpace(TM) high-rise elevators and nine machine-room-less KONE MonoSpace® elevators. The KONE MiniSpace(TM) elevators will travel at speeds of five to six meters per second. Some 3,400 people are expected to use the equipment on a daily basis.
The order also includes the KONE destination control system, which optimizes elevator performance to minimize waiting times and maximize convenience for building users. Residents will also benefit from the KONE Remote Call(TM) smartphone application for ordering an elevator. KONE Access, in turn, will integrate the buildings' doors seamlessly with the elevator system for secure and efficient access management.
"This is a unique landmark development, and we are proud that our people flow solutions will enable residents and visitors to move smoothly, efficiently and safely in and around these towers," said Axel Berkling, executive vice president for KONE Asia Pacific.
The buildings are expected to be completed by September 2019. The main developer is Lodha Developers Pvt. Ltd. The buildings were designed by WOHA Architects Singapore.
The order was booked in the fourth quarter of 2017.
