Compass Properties | CityCenter735: 1914 Building Leads in Operational Technology
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.
So much global real estate consists of older buildings that present unique challenges for upgrading to new technology and automation.
They also reveal some of the most interesting stories of innovation in the smart building ecosystem. CityCenter735 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is one such success story. This historic building is over 100 years old, and has been transformed into a premier office environment and community hub on the riverfront. Strategic and intentional retrofit plans created a site with superior connectivity, multiple sustainability features and efficient operations. The site also included many health and wellness features long before pandemic protocols were common. CityCenter@735 has received multiple awards for these attributes.
