The research firm, in partnership with Cox Communities, is hosting the industry webinar "Planning and Partnerships in Smart Apartment Deployments" on Thursday, May 26, at 11 am CT US (12 pm ET) to discuss the rapid growth for MDU smart deployments, where 96% of smart home deployments were made fewer than five years ago. "The smart home MDU market is intensifying, with remote work among tenants and staff shortages among MDUs creating unique drivers for these types of deployments," said Kristen Hanich, Director, Research, Parks Associates. "Expectations among prospective MDU residents have shifted so that Wi-Fi is now a standard amenity, with many now expanding their demands to include smart home solutions. We look forward to discussing the trends driving the smart home MDU market, plus the new revenue potential, lessons learned with recent deployments, and best practices when working in the built environment versus new construction." In this webinar, industry experts share Parks Associates' latest consumer and property manager and building owner research, explore the benefits and challenges when deploying these technologies, and discuss the unique needs of MDU owners/managers and their expectations with smart apartment deployments.
