Why Modernize

A lot has changed

s i n c e y o u r e l e v a t o r wa s i n s t a l l e d .

As time passes, almost everything around us improves. Things get faster, more reliable, more accurate
and friendlier to the environment. Elevators are no exception to this rule. Over time, older elevator systems
become outdated and more likely to cause a building to lose its appeal. These deficiencies can contribute
to both reduced tenant confidence and a loss in your building’s value.

Over time:

Te c h n o l o g y Being green has Styles have

has advanced become critical changed
The question isn’t if you should moder nize:

it’s when.

Your elevator is a critical system in your building. Just like your

windows, heating, electrical service and roof, it will eventually
need attention that goes beyond what maintenance can provide.

In order for your building to stay competitive,

your aging elevator system needs modernizing.
Why Otis
