为祝贺高层建筑与都市人居学会（CTBUH）的50周年庆典，蒂森克虏伯在10月30日芝加哥世界会议中心的庆典上，发布了全球Top-50建筑名单。在会上，MULTI部门首席执行官Michael Cesarz和研究与创新中心负责人Markus Jetter计划分别对“人类交通工具的三维性”和“电梯与城市：电梯如何改变与重塑城市”这两个话题进行讨论。蒂森克虏伯称“在开发电梯系统上起了尤为重要的作用，让建筑师和开发商创造出了不起的建筑，”，并展示了包括北半球最快的电梯在内的17台电梯，和纽约世界一号贸易中心的12台自动扶梯，以及2022年才会启用的哈德逊园区的40套TWIN电梯系统，这套系统可以让两个电梯轿厢在一条井道里独立运行。去年，蒂森克虏伯的MULTI系统获得了高层建筑与都市人居学会的创新奖，而现在，它将服务于北美地区更多的摩天大楼。
