Modern design and sustainable technology
One Vanderbilt is a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan, New York. It was proposed by Mayor Bill de Blasio as part of the Midtown East rehab space. Opened in 2020, the building rises to 1,401 feet (427 meters), making it one of the tallest in the city. Designed by architect Kohn Pedersen Fox, One Vanderbilt houses Class A offices, retail spaces and an observatory, “The Summit.”

Super Tall Buildings
THE PROJECT
Its modern design incorporates sustainable technology and is directly connected to the Grand Central subway station, improving access and mobility. This building not only stands out for its height, but also for its contemporary architecture and its role in the revitalization of the area.
OUR SOLUTION
The challenges that we faced in this building were several: From the need for a high-capacity winch (5,500 lbs) to the coordination of the machines with the building’s exterior elevators, to the need to incorporate a high lufing capacity into the machine.
The scope of supply for this Project was 3 SJ machines, the longest one with 33 meters, several units of davits and MRTs.
