Centrally Managed, Multifamily Smart Homes
Overview
Convenience, security, and efficiency make smart home technologies desirable to the average consumer.
In fact, 86% of millennials (and 65% of Baby Boomers) are willing to pay up to 20% more per month for housing with integrated smart features. To capitalize on this trend, Multifamily developers, builders, and property managers are turning to system integrators to design and implement centrally managed smart home platforms for their apartments.
These “Enterprise Smart Apartments” combine all the popular smart home capabilities with a commercial-grade infrastructure that:
- Simplifies multi-tenant management
- Improves system resiliency
- Integrates with existing property management systems
Residents love the additional amenities; and property managers appreciate the real-time control and visibility they have over their occupied and unoccupied units.

Enterprise Smart Apartments
There are many benefits of Enterprise Smart Apartments for the resident, property manager, and property owner. “Safety and Security” top the list with all three audiences followed closely by “Convenience”. For building owners, improved net operating income from higher monthly rents and increased customer loyalty and satisfaction from the cutting-edge amenities are important. For property managers, the technology improves resident engagement and communication; while streamlining energy management, access management, and vendor management. For residents, simplifying everyday tasks (maintenance appointments, deliveries, etc.) combined with the luxury of keyless living, setting scenes (home, away, etc.) and gaining visibility of property-wide amenities makes living in a Smart Apartment an amazing experience.
