The Warren Street Condominium
12,000 sq/ft amenities floor & IT upgrade in Tribeca, NYC featuring Savant control of the lounge, theater, conference room, gym, wellness spa, smart kitchen, playroom, and outdoor zen garden.
CHALLENGE
When three client-specified technology features evolved into thirteen categories of systems, the construction management team struggled to understand the complex integration requirements and maintain a macro view of the end-user experience.
SOLUTION
Techmenity designed and installed a fiber-optic and copper data network that spans the amenities floor, two lobbies, and two residential towers. We integrated building-wide surveillance, access control, WiFi, VoIP telephony, computers running Azure, and existing BMS. The converged network is monitored, maintained, and continually optimized by our
SBaaMS (Smart Building as a Managed Service.)
RESULTS
The updated amenity floor breathed new life into a high-profile Tribeca property, providing residents with a multi-use space that is responsive, functional, and beautiful. Through clear communication, we helped the stakeholders recognize the value of a converged network that integrates all systems, allows for non-invasive upgrades in the future, and positions the building as a smart, Future-Ready property.
