iApartments Inc. and NexMetro form Strategic Partnership
TAMPA, Fla., April 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iApartments Inc., an innovative leader in smart home technology for build-to-rent and traditional multifamily communities, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with NexMetro Communities to install iApartments fully integrated smart technology solutions throughout the portfolio of its luxury Avilla Homes communities.
NexMetro, headquartered in Phoenix, AZ., is the country's pioneering and leading developer of build-to-rent communities throughout key areas of the sunbelt. These highly sought after communities boast a unique alternative to the traditional apartment rental, offering a single-family home community experience without the burden of maintenance upkeep or a mortgage.
iApartments has been chosen as the smart home platform for NexMetro communities to further enhance the living experience of residents, enable work efficiencies for on-site teams and automate leasing with self-guided tours. iApartments platform seamlessly integrates with NexMetro's property management system, Yardi, to deliver streamlined move-ins and reduce manual tasks for teams.
Smart locks enable an unparalleled level of efficiency for industry partners and maintenance teams to access homes to complete work orders, while smart thermostats automate energy management for vacant homes. Residents can now effortlessly manage their home through the intuitive iApartments app, providing comfort and an enriched living experience.
"NexMetro is the leader in the BTR space. With iApartments, we see the power of their one platform solution in its ability to drive operational efficiency and now, automate our Avilla home self-guided tours," said Linda Coburn, VP of Asset Management. "The difference with iApartments is the hassle-free implementation and level of service, they are truly a gold standard operation."
Avilla communities are unique in every way, from enclosed backyards to neighborhood perks like detached garages and electric car charging stations. "iApartments has taken our homes to another level. As many of our communities are focused on lease-ups, a smart home offering gives us another unique selling point and competitive advantage. Residents are wowed with the ability to add voice commands that turn lights on and off, lock the front door from the couch, and control their thermostat using the resident smart home app," added Kourtni Kazienko, Asset Manager at NexMetro.
"We are thrilled to earn the trust of a prominent development company like NexMetro," said Scott Stamilio, Chief Revenue Officer at iApartments." This partnership underscores the trust our clients have in our ongoing commitment to developing technology that modernizes both work and living experiences, while delivering a substantial revenue boost across the NexMetro portfolio."
iApartments equips each residence with industry-leading smart hardware – smart lock, leak sensors, smart thermostat, and the opportunity to add features like smart lighting or voice assistant devices.
