2003 Schindler MT 500A Traction Elevators at The Simmons Building (Charlotte, NC)

This building and the other surrounding two buildings were built around 2002-2004. These 3 buildings have 500A's with MT with the true 500A Chimes, and they seem to be the only ones with the true chimes in the Ballantyne Area. All other 500A's in this area (from what I've seen) have 400A Chimes.

This is virtually the same as the 2 prior building. This place, for the most part, is mostly abandoned and most of the floors are empty and undeveloped. Also, gotta note the funny chime glitch at 0:51.
