Mixed-income homes with fiber to every unit, a resident tech lab and building systems that are simple to run.
The owner wanted residents at every income level to get the same fast connection, the same comfortable rooms and the same reliable building. That meant fiber to every unit, a resident tech lab and efficient systems on a budget where every dollar was counted. It also meant a building the property team could maintain without calling a specialist every week.
The approach.
- 01
Fiber in the base budget
Pathways, a dedicated telecom room and fiber to each unit were priced and designed in from the start, not added as an upgrade.
- 02
Simple systems, chosen on purpose
Equipment was picked for low maintenance and easy parts, reviewed with the property team before it was bought.
- 03
Tested unit by unit
Every home passed a readiness check for connectivity, ventilation, plumbing and finishes before keys were released.
- 04
Staff ready on move-in day
Maintenance staff were trained on every system, with clear O&M manuals and an as-built set handed over at turnover.
The outcome.
“A good connection should not depend on the rent. Every home in this building got the same fiber and the same care.”
Project manager, ScottHarry
