South China’s Greater Bay Area is Taller, Faster and Smarter with Otis

With China’s Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area emerging as an engine of economic growth, Otis is adding 260 units of elevators and escalators in Guangdong province as south China fuels smart-city development.

“The Greater Bay Area is emblematic of a taller, faster and smarter world,” said Perry Zheng, President, Otis China Area and Chief Customer Product Officer. “Our new generation of digitally native platforms and technologies are designed to meet the current needs and future expectations of city planners, architects, developers and building owners. We also reimagine the vertical transportation experience for passengers. With major projects across Guangdong, Otis is actively playing a part in making this globally significant megalopolis possible.”

Guangzhou: Canton Fair Complex
Guangzhou is a major gateway in south China that is home 19 million people. The Canton Fair held in Guangzhou every year is China’s largest trade fair. Otis is providing more than 140 SkyRise® and Gen3™ elevators and escalators for Phase 4 of the Canton Fair Complex, an extension that will help to further elevate the influential expo on the global stage. The IoT digital system installed on the Otis elevators will monitor them real time to optimize performance and reduce callbacks.

Shenzhen: New China Life Insurance Tower
Shenzhen, with a population of 18 million, is a mega center of technology, research and manufacturing in south China with a busy container port. Located on the Nanshan Peninsula, the Qianhai area is a modern service industry cooperation zone that is seen as vital to the Greater Bay Area and especially to Shenzhen-Hong Kong collaboration.

The New China Life Insurance Tower in the central business district of Qianhai will be served by 30 Otis SkyRise® elevators.

Zhuhai: Nanping Royal Times Square
A strategic gateway connecting the mainland to the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau via a 55-kilometer bridge-tunnel system, Zhuhai has a population of 2.4 million. It is a popular tourist destination and a hub of high-tech industry.

Otis will provide nearly 90 elevators and escalators for the new Nanping Royal Times Square being built in the city, including Gen3 elevators equipped with Otis' latest Ambiance fixtures. A symbol of urban renewal, the project includes offices, shopping centers and hotels.
