The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
Water Street Tampa is burgeoning as Florida's first smart district. It is a connected, urban, multi-use project on the waterfront spanning 56 acres and includes nine million square feet of new commercial, residential, educational, entertainment, cultural and retail space. The project's state-of-the-art communications infrastructure makes city life feel seamless, with publicly accessible 5G Wi-Fi and a mobile platform for reserving everything from parking to personal services and amenities. Water Street Tampa technology supports a modern and thriving urban culture, with a layout designed for ultimate accessibility and freedom of movement. Every street and space supports health and well-being. An experiential, immersive Marketing Center was built to showcase the project and a multi-conduit fiber duct bank provides conduits for owners, carrier, network providers and future use; a significant way to “future proof” the development’s master plan.
