Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com DC TOWER III WITH KONE ELEVATORS TOPS OUT IN VIENNA DC Tower III, a serviced apartment complex with a KONE elevators system, topped out at 359 ft in Vienna, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reported on November 2. A celebration ceremony was held in early October. The structure holds 832 student and serviced apartments, and elements of the façade create a window alcove overlooking the Danube River and city in each apartment. Amenities include a fitness studio, an in-house cinema and a rooftop bar. Sensors were installed to detect any shifts in the ground due to the building’s proximity to the underground rail line. Although structurally topped out, the project will not be passed on to its owners until 2022.
