VDA DESCRIBES VT SYSTEM SERVING BROOKLYN SKYCRAPER
Vertical-transportation (VT) consultancy VDA recently provided ELEVATOR WORLD with a detailed description of the elevator system serving the 51-story 11 Hoyt Street in Brooklyn, New York, architect Jeanne Gang's first NYC skyscraper and one of the tallest buildings in Brooklyn. The 481-unit condominium building is served by elevators manufactured by Fujitec. The system consists of three overhead-traction, gearless, 2500-lb-capacity, 1,000-ft/min elevators serving the lower floors; three overhead traction, gearless, 2500-lb-capacity, 1,200-ft/min elevators serving the higher floors; and a dedicated overhead traction, gearless, 3500-lb-capacity, 700-ft/min dedicated service elevator. VDA Senior Associate Brian Schaulewicz says the project followed successful completion of several projects in NYC, including the Hearst Tower, for 11 Hoyt Street developer Tishman Speyer.
