KONE Centre

The eight-story KONE Centre provides unparalleled views of the adjacent Mississippi River as well as the Bass Street Landing Plaza. Completed in 2012, this $40 million mixed-use development provides a Moline home to the U.S. Operations Center of KONE, Inc., a Finnish-based elevator and escalator manufacturer, with retail and office tenants along with limited residential condominiums.

This development has redefined Moline’s skyline, providing a modern icon that blends with the city’s historic past. The building was the first in the state of Illinois to achieve platinum LEED certification for the core and shell. A state-of-the-art elevator system that captures energy from the friction of the cars’ movements; bicyclist-friendly amenities including a shower and locker room; and the third-largest photovoltaic array in the state all play a part in the project receiving such a distinction for sustainability. The architectural design includes modern steel and glass that reflects its nearby environment. Balconies and observations decks grace the structure’s exterior. At its base, the accompanying grounds function as public space ideal for gatherings providing superb riverfront access. An adjacent structure connected to the tower houses the parking garage for tenants and guests.
