Today, iApartments, a leader in smart apartment technology for multifamily communities, announces the expansion of its platform capabilities to meet the student housing demand for its fully integrated smart technology.
iApartments has earned the trust of leading owners and operators within multifamily from Greystar, Mark-Taylor Residential, NexMetro, Stoneweg, CAPREIT, and UBS to name a few.
Launched in early 2024, iApartments Smart Student Housing Solution includes a robust smart home package, seamless building access control integrations, and a powerful self-guided-tour program to automate and accelerate leasing. Operators benefit from reduced costs associated with unit turnovers, vacant unit energy control, and 24/7 water leak, humidity, and HVAC issue detection.
“We’ve customized our solution specifically for student housing to make leasing and smart home easier than ever,” said Steve Fiske, Chief Product Officer at iApartments. “Take our recent student housing project, Apella on Newport, for example. We rebuilt our PMS integration from the ground up to accommodate student housing’s unique dynamics, including the room and suite relationship. Now managers can move individual residents in and out of a room without affecting the larger group in the suite. It’s details like this that enable secure and efficient workflows for the property management team.”
Apella on Newport, owned by Whitestone Development Partners and managed by Cardinal Group, is an 8-story, 576 bed, community located next to the University of Tampa in Tampa, FL, offering layouts with 2-6 bedrooms in each apartment. iApartments' single sign-on application is connected to Entrata’s property management system and controls multiple access points and smart home tech for each unit.
"Our student housing properties are highly innovative communities,” said Tom George, CEO at Whitestone Development Partners. “We look for technology that can optimize property management efficiency and enhance the resident experience. iApartments platform gives us a comprehensive suite of technology that neatly ties together smart home, access controls and self-guided tours. We are pleased to find that trusted partner who understands the need of student housing."
“With the help of iApartments’ smart technology, we’ve automated aspects of the move-in and move-out process, each student bedroom is secured with its own smart lock, and we no longer worry about lost keys or manual tracking” stated Becca Jung, Community Manager at Apella on Newport. “The addition of garage gate, elevator, and building access control has created a frictionless experience for visitors and guests. Smart living at Apella on Newport is an exciting selling point that helps drive leases."
