The MetLife Building
200 Park Avenue, New York
58 Floors
BOCA Group was the elevator consultant on the upgrade of 60 passenger elevators at 200 Park Avenue.
200 Park Avenue, also known as the MetLife Building, is a 58-story building located in the center of the hustle and bustle of Midtown, New York City. The elevator upgrade started in 2021 when BOCA Group worked hand-in-hand with Tishman Speyer and Otis to ensure the scope was completed efficiently over the course of three years.
BOCA Group surveyed all elevators and then wrote specifications that included upgrades to door and secondary brake equipment, Compass improvements, and new roller guides. BOCA Group then managed the bid and negotiation process from March to December of 2020. Construction work began in 2021, and BOCA Group remained involved in managing the project including weekly meetings, progress reviews, and quality control.
All 60 devices are now compliant with New York City’s retroactive 2027 code, well in advance of the deadline.
