New research from Parks Associates, in partnership with DOOR, highlights the growing impact of connected building systems on multifamily operations. The report finds that properties leveraging integrated smart technologies see an average 20% increase in operating efficiency, alongside meaningful reductions in costs, energy usage, and security incidents.
As the industry shifts from standalone devices to connected infrastructure, the findings reinforce a broader trend: operational performance improves when systems are unified. The research points to access control as a critical foundation, enabling real-time visibility, automation, and more consistent workflows across properties.
For owners and operators, the takeaway is clear. Fragmented systems limit scale and efficiency, while connected platforms create a measurable advantage across portfolios.
