Alliance Residential Company didn’t become one of the nation’s largest apartment development and management companies in the country by chance. Their performance-driven perspective, and superior market knowledge and customer understanding, has propelled them to a perennial spot on NMHC’s top manager and developer lists.

Dwelo CEO, Mike Rovito and Alliance Residential Innovation Team Lead, Taylor Wiederkehr, teamed up to present on the benefits of smart home technology in apartment communities as part of the NAA Apartmentalize Learning Zone Sessions.

Alliance Residential Company, in collaboration with Dwelo, Google and Nest, announces the launch of its "Alliance SmartHome" technology package across more than 25,000 luxury apartments nationwide. Utilizing thermostat and lighting control, digital home access and voice-enabled control, the smart tech will deliver convenience, connectivity and conservation capabilities, as well as provide management operational efficiencies.

NAA conferences have a history of successfully connecting excited groups of multifamily professionals and this year’s NAA Apartmentalize conference was no exception. The conference agenda was packed with great sessions from stars such as Mike Rowe and Alex Rodriguez to the hyped Maintenance Mania. Even more electrifying was the buzz and increased focus around smart technology for apartment communities.

Let's get into what some of the emerging technology is and why future proofing really matters. As you all have probably seen there's a lot happening inside of the home, it's kind of the next big wave of technology. In fact by 2022 , that's just four years away, it's expected to be $120 billion market and a third of that is going to be inside of rentals and apartments.

This partnership will offer owners, managers, and residents a more complete smart community experience by connecting in-unit device management with smart access control for every door in the community.

Dwelo is now better for property managers! At Dwelo, we are dedicated to improving the experience that owners, property managers, and residents have with our smart apartments.

At Dwelo, our mission is to make living and working in rental housing more magical, efficient, and connected. We are excited to announce another step towards that mission. Dwelo is now integrated with Amazon Alexa!

Implementing smart technology in rental communities can be a bit nerve racking. The investment can be significant, and you are making a choice that must last at least a few years. How do you ensure that your investment won’t be obsolete by the time it is installed?

Resident’s rapid adoption of smart home technology is forcing owners’ hands. A huge driver of that has been the adoption of voice controllers such as Amazon Echo and Google Home.
