The Plaza Hotel is one of only two New York hotels that has been designated a national landmark. The historic, 19-story building, owned by ELAD Properties, is undergoing a $350 million renovation that will result in 182 luxury residential units and 282 hotel rooms (including 152 condominium hotel units), and 180,000 sq. ft. of retail space. There will be separate entrances for the hotel and for the residential units.

VDA is providing consulting services for the installation of a new wheelchair lift, a new dumbwaiter, 3 new traction and 10 new hydraulic elevators; and modernization of an existing sidewalk lift, 12 existing traction elevators and 1 existing hydraulic elevator. The project is expected to be complete in October 2007 to coincide with the 100th Anniversary of the building's original construction.
