UBS Hoist played a vital role in the construction of this 155.55m high, 32-floor tower, which houses 256 apartments. Beginning in 2004 and completed in 2006, the project required precision hoisting solutions to support the efficient transportation of materials and workers across the multiple levels. UBS Hoist supplied high-speed, heavy-duty passenger and material hoists, ensuring smooth vertical access throughout the construction phase, contributing to the timely and successful completion of this iconic building in East London.
The Ontario Tower, located in Blackwall within the former docklands area of East London, is a key part of the New Providence Wharf development on the north side of the River Thames. This residential tower, built by Ballymore, showcases a striking glass and aluminium design, featuring a distinctive sloped roof with a blue LED-rimmed elliptical profile.
