Shane Robinson

Emerging technologies will be among the top trends for apartments in 2020. Renters continue to crave convenience through technology, and the demand is fueling the implementation of a host of new technologies in apartment buildings and in units. These technologies will take center stage next year.

“The biggest trends will be related to emerging technologies,” Shane Robinson, regional VP at Sunrise Management, tells GlobeSt.com. “With new competition being consistently delivered, the need to stand out will continue to grow. Each year new advances in technology—from smart home apps to mobile leasing software—streamline property operations as well as enhance the living experiences of our tenants. Today’s residents are looking for convenience in addition to lifestyle, and operators will need to keep up with ever evolving technology to meet these expectations.”
