Investment integrates Smart Apartment capabilities in upcoming Las Vegas developments
IOTAS, an innovator in premier smart apartment technology, announced today it has engaged in a portfolio engagement deal with multifamily apartment ownership group, TRU Development out of Las Vegas, Nevada. IOTAS’ smart apartment technology platform allows property managers and developers to bring a cohesive, connected Internet of Things (IoT) experience to residents.
In partnership with IOTAS – a Portland-based technology company – TRU Development is integrating a total Smart Home Technology Package in their upcoming Kaktus projects and will represent some of the first communities in Las Vegas to contain IOTAS’s distinctive technology. Each apartment will boast smart lights, thermostats, outlets, sensors, door locks and more that can all be controlled from a simple smart phone app, with Smart Stories automation, as well as voice control.
“Integrating smart tech is all about understanding the tenants needs within the multifamily mixed use environment. Having a better understanding of what creates a unique tenant experience will enhance the desirability of the project and will create a sense of ownership in a rental environment,” said Tim Deters, President of TRU Development.
Kaktus Life is a lifestyle brand that is promised to transcend the luxury apartment market in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kaktus Life promotes sustainability and leverages technology to enhance the tenants experience in all areas of the community. Silver LEED certification, SOLAR energy, Technogym fitness center designed by Amanda Barton, and the IOTAS Smart Home technology is how Kaktus Life is establishing this brand unlike anything that is currently available in the Las Vegas market today.
Tim Deters added, “My relationship and decision to choose IOTAS started with the CEO Sce Pike. Having an opportunity to meet her at her headquarters and walk through her business model helped me to have a better understanding of her as a business woman, what she values, our mutual desire for technology and creating a unique tenant experience that promotes sustainability and connectivity.”
TRU Development Company is comprised of a group of professionals based in Las Vegas, Nevada specializing in retail, office and residential real estate development and strives to build quality projects that exceed expectations while building strong relationships along the way.
