Innovation Complex<\/p><\/div>\n

Will these buildings even have<\/em> stairs? Thyssenkrupp Elevator, one of the world\u2019s largest elevator companies, will build a new headquarters office and an elevator test tower near The Battery Atlanta in Cobb County, Ga., in collaboration with the Braves Development Co. <\/p>\n

The project is valued at more than $200 million, with between $130 million and $150 million of that being for the test tower, a thyssenkrupp spokesperson told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>. Completion of the Innovation Complex is expected by early 2022.<\/p>\n

The 420-foot elevator qualification and test tower reportedly will be the tallest of its kind in the U.S. and one of the tallest in the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Innovation Complex<\/p><\/div>\n

Overall, the complex will house more than 900 full-time employees, or about 6 percent of thyssenkrupp Elevator Americas\u2019 total North American workforce.<\/p>\n

With 18 shafts, the Innovation Complex test tower can be used to trial new concepts and product pilots, including high-speed elevators; TWIN, the company\u2019s two-cabins-per-shaft elevator system; and MULTI, the world\u2019s first rope-less and sideways-moving elevator system.<\/p>\n

In a prepared statement, thyssenkrupp Elevator CEO Andreas Schierenbeck noted that this \u201claboratory for futuristic technologies<\/em>\u201d will join high-speed test towers in Germany and China.<\/p>\n

Putting innovation into practice<\/h2>\n

Atlanta is already slated to be home to North America\u2019s first TWIN elevator system, which features two cars arranged on top of each other and operating independently in a single shaft. The system is being installed in the Coda Building at Georgia Tech, which is expected to open early next year.<\/p>\n

The $375 million Coda<\/a>, in Atlanta\u2019s Midtown, will total about 770,000 square feet, of which 620,000 square feet will be office space and 100,000 square feet will be a 3.2-megawatt data center, which topped out just last month<\/a>. About 30,000 square feet of street-level retail, a 20,000-square-foot \u201coutdoor living room\u201d and a 20,000-square-foot food hall will round out the mixed-use project.<\/p>\n
