The Cibes Antera
Elevator Service Company installs the Cibes Antera, the ultra-luxury flagship from Cibes Lift Group, across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
Where an Elevator Becomes Part of the Home
The Cibes Antera is the only luxury home elevator available in New England with a factory-built Bose speaker system and a full smart touchscreen as standard features. Built as the flagship of the Cibes Lift Group portfolio, it occupies a tier above every other elevator in ESCO’s lineup, designed for homes where the elevator is expected to meet the same standard as the custom millwork and the architectural choices that define the project. A Generation 5 screw-drive with XL Rubber Rollers operates at just 40 decibels. The asynchronous motor runs without oil, without vibration, and without a machine room. Three models cover every architectural context your project requires.

Three Models. Every Design Decision Considered.
Your home’s architecture determines which Antera belongs in it. The Z70, Z85 Highback, and Z90 address the full range of residential conditions, from an existing shaft in a New England colonial to an open-plan new build designed around a panoramic glass elevator for the home as its visual centerpiece.
Z70: The Discreet Choice
The Z70 is a cabin lift designed for installation within an existing shaft. It is the most architecturally contained of the three Antera models, the choice when the elevator should integrate with a home’s structure rather than command attention within it. For prestige renovations across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, where a hoistway has been opened and architectural continuity is the priority, the Z70 delivers every Antera system feature in the most defined footprint of the three.
Z85 Highback: The Smart Home Elevator
The Z85 is the Antera model built around the cabin experience, and it is the only residential elevator currently available in New England with a built-in Bose speaker system as a factory-standard feature. A platform lift with three sides of glass and a solid wooden backing, it fits a space as small as one square meter with no machine room and no pit deeper than 120 millimeters. The touchscreen LCD panel links ambient music directly to the Bose system and puts lighting adjustment, ventilation, floor naming, child lock, Smart Lift monitoring, and climate control in one interface. For homeowners who already manage their thermostat, security system, and lighting from a screen, the Z85 is the home elevator with a sound system that extends that same logic to every floor. This is the touchscreen home elevator built for how you already live.
Z90: Full Panoramic Glass
The Z90 is a fully enclosed panoramic glass home elevator, glass on all sides, with no visual interruption and no mechanical enclosure between you and the home you’re moving through. This is the Antera’s headline product. For architects designing a statement stair hall, a double-height entry, or a glass-wrapped atrium, the Z90 earns its place as a design feature rather than a mechanical requirement. Nothing else in ESCO’s lineup makes the same case.
The Antera Belongs in Your Home. Let’s Begin.
Elevator Service Company brings the Cibes Antera to homeowners, architects, and builders across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The earlier you bring us into the project, the more the finished installation reflects what you had in mind from the start.
Built to Be Specified. Here’s How We Support That Process.
The Antera earns its place on a specification for reasons that go beyond the finish selections. A pit requirement of 100 to 120 millimeters (or zero with the ramp option) removes one of the most structurally disruptive requirements from conventional elevator rough-in. The absence of a machine room eliminates spatial and structural coordination that adds complexity to prestige residential projects.
Three models address the full range of hoistway conditions an architect encounters at the top of the market: the Z70 for a defined existing shaft, the Z85 for tight open-plan footprints, and the Z90 for projects where the panoramic glass elevator is the architectural intention from the first client presentation.
Elevator Service Company works with architects, interior designers, and general contractors from early design through final commissioning. Hoistway dimensions, pit requirements, and model specification guidance are available at the planning stage, not after the shaft has been framed. ESCO holds active licensing across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts; cross-state projects carry one contractor, one set of compliance relationships, and one installation standard throughout.
Connecticut’s Luxury Home Elevator Experts
As Connecticut’s largest independent elevator contractor, Elevator Service Company has installed elevators across New England since 1948. That depth of regional experience is behind every Cibes Antera project we take on, from the first model selection conversation through long-term service.
Prestige Residential Installation Across New England
The details that define a precision installation are most consequential in high-end residential work, from the brownstone floors of Fairfield County to the coastal estates along Connecticut’s shoreline and the Federal-era renovations of Providence’s historic East Side. Elevator Service Company manages the decisions that determine how the Antera integrates with the specific home it lives in, working through finish selections, hoistway coordination, and installation logistics with the homeowner’s design team from the start.
Licensed Across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts
ESCO holds active licensing across all four states. For projects that cross state lines, a primary residence in Greenwich alongside a second home on Block Island or a new build in Westchester County, there is one contractor, one point of contact, and one installation standard across the full project scope.
Ongoing Service With the Team That Installed It
Elevator Service Company services what we install. After your Cibes Antera is commissioned, ESCO’s technicians are your point of contact for elevator maintenance and service, Smart Lift monitoring, and the long-term performance of the system.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Cibes Antera
How is the Cibes Antera different from other home elevators ESCO installs?
The Cibes Antera is the flagship of the Cibes Lift Group portfolio and the only ultra-luxury home elevator in ESCO’s lineup with a built-in Bose speaker system and a full smart touchscreen as factory-standard features. It is the only model certified to EN81-41 with TÜV SÜD and ISO 9001 accreditation. Every other elevator ESCO installs addresses a functional constraint: space, accessibility, new construction timing. The Antera buyer is not comparing it against those products. They have decided they want the best.
Does the Cibes Antera work in an existing home or is it for new construction only?
Both. The Z70 installs into an existing shaft and is well-suited for New England’s stock of historic homes where a hoistway can be opened without a full structural rework. The Z85 and Z90 fit footprints as small as one square meter with no machine room and a pit requirement as low as 100 millimeters, making them practical for open-plan new builds and tight renovation footprints alike. Elevator Service Company handles new construction rough-in and retrofit installation across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.
How many floors can the Cibes Antera serve, and is there a maximum building height?
The Antera serves up to six stops. On single-phase power, maximum travel is 13 meters. On three-phase power, that extends to 20 meters, which covers the vertical range of most custom residential projects, including four- and five-story homes. For new construction projects where travel distance is a planning variable, Elevator Service Company identifies the correct power configuration at the specification stage.
