Otis Brazil Selected to Supply Taj Home Resort Project in Vila Velha

Otis Brazil will install 16 elevators, including SkyRise®, Arise™ and Gen2® Comfort models, at the Taj Home Resort, now under construction in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo. The condominium, being built by Grand Construtora, will include more than 20,000 m² of leisure space, a defining feature of the development and the largest leisure area per resident in the state of Espírito Santo. Otis Brazil is part of Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS), the global leader in the manufacture, installation and servicing of elevators and escalators.

“We are proud to provide safe, high-quality vertical transportation for the future residents of Taj Home Resort, comfortably moving them to and from their homes and leisure spaces,” said Álvaro Netto, Managing Director, Otis Brazil.

Taj Home Resort will feature the first Otis SkyRise elevators in the state of Espírito Santo. The SkyRise elevator is Otis’ most advanced high-rise elevator, which integrates industry-leading technologies with space-saving design. Its controller employs adaptive motion profiling to adjust the acceleration rate to reduce energy consumption, while a patented control algorithm ensures a smooth ride. Designed to maximize energy efficiency, the patented ReGen™ drive recycles energy that would otherwise be lost as heat and converts it to electricity to be used by other building systems. The Taj Home Resort will include four SkyRise elevators.
