The villa lift upgrades are scheduled to start at the end of May 2022. The existing hydraulic villa lifts will be replaced with totally new traction lifts. The interior of the villa lifts will be similar to the new tower lift design, except due to weight limitations the floor will be a deluxe dark carpet (similart to the carpet in the lift lobbies) instead of tiles.

The villa lift upgrades will take around 2 months each to complete and during this period, affected residents will need to use the stairs to access their apartments on the higher floors. During this period the security system will be modified to allow affected residents to use the alternative villa lift to access the basement from the ground floor to make things a little easier.

As you are aware the South Villa lift sustained damage during the recent flood and has not been operating since so this lift will be updated first followed by the North lift starting in August 2022.

Also as part of the project the upgrade team will need access to the two car spaces adjacent to the villa lift for equipment storage and to ensure there is no damage to cars during the upgrade. The owners of these affected spaces will be offered alternative space while the work is underway.
