HPN Elevator Renovation and Upgrade Project Update
CURRENT STATUS: Otis Elevator Installation Crew is on-site and work has begun on two elevators.
Otis Elevator has spent the past 5 months completing all of the preliminary work needed before actual start of the installation. This included finalization of all design elements and systems architecture, as well as the specification and ordering of long-lead parts and components.
On Friday, October 2nd, the formal Project Kick-off meeting was held at HPN. Attendees included the HPN Board, HPN Property Manager Tom Downey, Project and Crew managers from Otis, and the account manager from our consulting firm Michael Blades (MBA). All aspects of the project implementation were reviewed and discussed, and the Project Implementation timeline was updated.
