Bring Luxury Living to Your Building With Smart Technology
Impress Residents With Intuitive Control of Lighting, Entertainment, and More
With the New York luxury real estate market slowing down in 2016, building owners are struggling to find ways to make their properties more enticing. Having an effective technology solution in place can make your property stand out without having to rely on cutting prices or sales gimmicks. Through MDU automation you can use smart control of lighting, media distribution, and climate within your residences and common amenities to bring an added sense of luxury to your space. In this blog, we feature some of the ways you can use MDU automation throughout your building:

Multi-Purpose Event/Party Room
Create the perfect environment for residents to host friends. Automate an event space that includes a surround sound system, drop-down screen, cable, Blu-ray, XM-Satellite radio and a USB port to connect other media players. With a Crestron touchpad, your residents will intuitively control the audio, sound, and lighting. Potential residents will be impressed with this entertaining space.
Dedicated Theater or Screening Room
With the cold weather approaching in NY, many residents will love the option to watch movies on a 100” screen with immersive surround sound—bringing their favorite movies to life without having to leave home. Via a Crestron touchpad, it’s easy to manage the technology and pull up movies. With the help of Rosebrand, we even installed a movie theater on the roof of a building on the Upper West Side, giving residents the option to enjoy their favorite movies under the stars.
Spa or Fitness Center
Enhance your residents’ wellbeing with a spa or fitness center where they can have personalized control of the music, climate, and lighting. In the spa, you can install an entertainment system that makes it easy for instructors to play their dedicated playlists or give instructions. Install touchpads on cardio machines to let residents enjoy the music and video of their choice while they work out.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Get a LEED accreditation for your building through the use of smart lighting and climate control. Link your lighting to motion sensors so lights in communal areas like a gym or event room are only turned on when the rooms are being used. Incorporate smart shading solutions throughout your units to take advantage of natural light, cool down in the summer, and insulate heat during the winter months.
Add Music Options for Residences
Offer building-provided music sources through a multi-room audio system so residents can enjoy select streaming services or radio stations without having to provide music of their own. Homeowners can also connect to docking stations when they want to listen to their own devices.
Create Stylish Entertainment Spaces
With a professional media installation, you can also let your residents enjoy high-quality audio and video without sacrificing your building’s luxury style. Speakers can be installed on walls and ceilings then painted to match the surrounding area. Through your MDU automation, source components can be neatly hidden away from residents, so all they see is the sleek touchpad they’ll be using to access the music or movies they want to enjoy.
