To enhance the quality of life for its residents, Tatweer Misr, one of Egypt’s leading real estate developers, has selected Otis (NYSE: OTIS), the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company, to supply and install smart vertical mobility solutions across its urban communities.
