Listen to this article

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.

One Post Office Square is a 41-story office tower and is a perfect example of Anchor Line Partners’ success in revitalizing existing commercial real estate. Smart retrofits face challenges that differ from new smart build designs, from existing legacy systems and already occupied spaces to challenging site logistics and security. One Post Office’s makeover included a converged building OT network for building management of multi-tenant spaces and common areas; automated smart parking; exterior and interior building upgrades; touchless elevators; mobile device app-based access control and more. Balancing the need for value, experience and performance, JLL, Gensler and Anchor Line Partners transformed an outdated office tower into a sustainable building of the future that’s on par with new construction and provides a superior, frictionless user experience.
