With all due respect, having worked on a large conversion, the elevators is the least of the problems. The real challenges are rezoning, different safety requirements, all new plumbing, electrical, ventilation, fire systems, loads, parkings….

They seem unduly proud to have used elevators with doors on both sides to service two different lobbies.

as others have pointed out, there are a lot of issues with converting commercial space to residential space, it looks like this innovation addresses one of those issues. as I understand it, the reason tall, multi-use buildings require separate elevator systems is because of the varying levels of security/access required by commercial, residential and hospitality tenants. it looks like this system is really a "smart" access system that uses the same elevators to let people go where they need to go and restrict them from places they shouldn't go...a little more exposition on how the system does this would have been interesting

So an elevator with two sets of doors... I've NEVER seen that before! Such a revolutionary idea 🤣

Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but what is this huge change they made? Added a rear door?

Totally unclear how this elevator is new or different. How does an extra door translate to less lifts.

This is the weirdest B1M video I’ve ever seen. Like, I appreciate that Schindler has experience with mixed-use high rises, and that it’s going to be important as office demand decreases in central business districts, but I didn’t take away any insight into what this approach to elevators actually means in practice other than having two doors, something all of the high rises I’ve lived in already had.

In other videos on converting office space to apartments the biggest challenge was bathrooms. Offices have one centrally located large bathroom with multiple stalls not at all what an apartment needs

I would have thought the biggest challenge skyscrapers face when turning them into residential would be the lack of sunlight by the cores and therefor apartments would almost have to be entirely open plan with the kitchen and toilets close to the core and then just one huge open space for the rest of the flat?

I hope Schindler wasn't given a patient for an elevator with two doors. This seemed more like an advertisement than your normal video, then I saw the sponsor. Your past programs have been so good.

Interesting. When you mentioned 'the biggest problem with converting offices to residential' my first thought wasn't elevators. It was plumbing. Most people renting a high-rise apartment probably aren't going to be happy with a shared bathroom at the end of the hall. They probably also want at least a minimalist kitchen with a sink containing a garbage disposal. This is A LOT of plumbing, and it is now distributed all over the floor. How is this going to be handled? You are likely to have to increase the size of the water supply, the size of central water heating (perhaps per floor), and greatly increase the number of and capacity of sanitary drains to deal with the multitudes of showers, toilets, and kitchen sinks. I think an article on how this can be done would be interesting and useful.

So I'm confused, the reason you can't take a normal building with normal elevators and turn it into a residential tower is because people would "feel like they're in an office" - whatever that means... ?

"Catch a train" - God I wish. More like sit in traffic for an hour and a bit for what is meant to be a 35 minute journey.

I don't know if this is another clumsy brand deal or content is getting thin right now, but I think we're all aware why elevators are not the limiting factor in converting an office to an apartment or vice versa. The spaces are just way too dissimilar, save for creating giant ultra luxury millionaire apartments that we do NOT need more of.

I have a friend of mine who used to be a property developer (now retired). I asked him about commercial real estate investment over 15 years ago and he said "I never invest in commercial real estate, only residential" I asked him why? He promptly said "because people will always need a place to live". Those words are even truer today.

Sorry, but actually although potential interesting, this video did not explain anything on how this new concept works. A lot of big words with a little meaning.

Our old office was in the same building as flats. Every time someone burned toast the entire building had to evacuate and it happened 6 or 7 times a month

I always find it odd that a company called Schindler makes lifts... "Schindler's Lifts" 🤔😂

In New York there are additional challenges in converting office buildings to residential, because of the differences in building codes. The residential codes require a window in every room, while office workers were never afforded that. Many modern office buildings have huge floors, that used to be filled with little cubes. That doesn't work as bedrooms.
