sheave, reducing machine size by 80 percent and
raising efficiency up to 50 percent.

PERFORMANCE

Your comfort
is our focus
We sharpened our focus on speed and performance without
compromising comfort. We reduced metal-on-metal contact and
dampened vibrations to ensure the Gen2 ride is smooth and quiet.

SWIFT MOVEMENT
High-performance door operators and superior car acceleration
allow passengers to enter and exit elevators more quickly.

SMOOTH COATED STEEL BELTS

The steel belts eliminate the noise created by the
metal-on-metal contact from conventional steel ropes.

LOW-NOISE GEARLESS MACHINE

Mounted on isolation rubber pads, the low-noise gearless machine
reduces vibration and minimizes noise in adjacent rooms.
10
RELIABILITY

in Gen2 technology. Manufactured exclusively at our
ISO-certified factories, the Gen2 system is the result of
our most advanced thinking, global experience and deep
engineering expertise. You can be sure you’re getting
exceptional Otis performance day after day.

PULSE
The Pulse System continuously monitors the elevator’s
coated steel belts to safeguard their integrity, ensuring safe,
efficient operation and reduced inspection downtime.

AUTOMATIC RESCUE OPERATION

Battery-powered systems deliver passengers
safely to the nearest floor during a power failure.

ENHANCED SEISMIC PROTECTION

Coated steel belts and a uniquely designed
machine sheave work together to provide
greater stability during seismic activity.

SIZE: 2 MILLION SQ. FT. OFFICE
40,000 SQ. FT. RETAIL
LEED SILVER
As the largest office development in Arizona
history, Marina Heights offers amenities
for tenants of the building as well as the
surrounding community.

The LEED Silver building covers an area of

approximately 20 acres and includes five office
towers of varying heights, three to four retail
areas and two below-grade parking garage
levels holding 8,600 parking spaces.

Challenges inherent to the project, such as the

need to carry out construction while people
were working and operating within the space,
as well as the customer’s compressed timeline,
required a savvy approach to construction.
As the key vertical transportation partner, Otis
helped the development team meet the project
need on time and on budget.
