4x Mitsubishi Lower Middle Zone Elevators @ Emirates Office Tower, Za'abeel, Dubai, UAE

Emirates Towers is a twin-towered complex consisting of two triangular 55-story towers, one used for offices and the other as a business hotel, sharing a two-story retail podium and alongside associated multi-level parking garages. The towers, owing to their distinct shapes, commanded a unique position in Dubai's skyline, and their positioning away from the highway and on a very large plot unlike many developments nearby contributed to their imposing appearance when looked at from the street. A central ring road provided access to the entire complex, with ramps leading to porte-cochères of respective towers on the different levels of the podium and access points to the parking garages branching off from this ring road. Parking was provided inside the crescent-shaped garages adjacent to the towers, designed to evoke the shapes of sand dunes, as well as in the basement beneath the towers and the entire podium.
The office tower, which rose to a height of 355 meters (1,163 feet), was the tallest building in Dubai upon completion, a status that was held until completion of the Almas Tower in 2009. The building was accessed from the southern entrance ramp that led to a sky-lit porte-cochère and the main office lobby, located on the podium roof level numbered as floor 1. Adjacent to the lobby was a cafe called Leen, which had outdoor seating on the podium terrace overlooking Museum of the Future and nearby high-rise buildings, and clearly aimed at office workers (though it seemed to be popular with outside visitors owing to a clear view of Museum of the Future from the terrace, especially at night). Offices occupied floors 2 through 51, with the exception of intermediate mechanical floors 9 and 45. Parts of floors 21 and 33, which were elevator transfer floors, also had mechanical rooms. Floors 52 and above, located in the building's angled penthouse section below the spire, contained mechanical rooms. A pair of escalators linked the entrance lobby to the upper ground floor (denoted as "UL"), which had a health club called "J Club" operated by the hotel in the other tower and connection to the upper level of the retail boulevard. The lower ground (denoted as "LL") and basement floors were part of the retail boulevard and basement parking respectively. The building's loading dock was also located on the basement.
The building had 16 passenger elevators, one service elevator, and one top-of-house elevator, all supplied by Mitsubishi. The passenger elevators consisted of 3 low-rise, 4 lower mid-rise, 4 upper mid-rise, and 5 high-rise units. This video features the bank of the four lower mid-rise elevators, which served the office lobby and floors 10 to 23, with a cross-over to the upper mid-rise bank of elevators available on floor 21. They belonged to Mitsubishi's original GPM model, which was the company's first model to employ permanent magnet motors. Their hall stations had round vandal-resistant buttons, while their COPs had black rectangular buttons found in GPS and GPS-2 installations for door control and small black buttons for floor selection, the latter of which seemed to be a prototype of black-and-white buttons of similar shape found in some 2000s to early-2010s Mitsubishi installations. The floor indicators were unusual in that they did not have space for "overload" and "fire service" lightings, which were displayed in a separate window below the capacity plate. They had floor passing chimes which were a rarity outside the United States, and while in express zone, the floor indicators displayed a cross-out symbol ("✕", not the alphabet), which was also very rare for a Mitsubishi installation; the only other known building with elevators with such behavior is Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai. (Some Mitsubishi installations are known to display a square ("￭") or rarely an "S" while in express zone, but not this.) The cabs' floors were covered with granite and cream-colored marble, while the walls were finished with green-colored glass alongside stainless steel, which might have seemed luxurious when this tower was built, but somewhat felt out of fashion nowadays; the interiors were overall being kept tidy however, save for a few stains near the corners. Their speed was quite fast for 23 floors, though the acceleration was somewhat gradual (but not too slow to undermine efficiency). They ran very smoothly despite their age, and overall seemed to be consistently maintained.
