World Financial Center

The World Financial Center is located on Manhattan Island, New York. Consisting of four high-rise buildings, the project was designed by world famous architect Cesar Pelli.
Fujitec installed 80 elevators, including high-speed models that travel up to 1,200 ft./min (360 mpm), and 14 escalators in buildings B and D. Plus, a highly sophisticated, visual communication system (ELVIC) provides real-time monitoring of operating status and control commands to elevators.
