AS LIFESTYLE CHANGES ARE AFFECTING THE MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING INDUSTRY, MANY MANAGERS ARE TURNING TO TECHNOLOGY FOR ANSWERS

With parcel locker solutions that can be managed by the residents, many property managers are opting to save time and money by giving the residents the keys.

According to the CBRE US Real Estate Market Outlook, adoption of tech is rapid across all areas of the industry and there is no doubt that technology will continue to infiltrate every aspect of the lifestyle at both work and home—multi-family being the latest target. Darren Wesemann, EVP & Chief Innovation Officer at Berkadia, believes “the overall trend in multi-family tech is ‘digital transformation,’ meaning the evolution of manual overhead into more efficient operations, elimination of paper, and adoption of frictionless processes.”

Andrew Ackerman, Managing Director at DreamIt, feels “the biggest trend is probably the change in mindset: No one is skeptical of tech’s potential to change their business anymore. Pretty much everyone accepts that it is no longer a question of ‘if’ but rather the questions are now ‘what’ and ‘when.’”
