The world of proptech is vast and can be overwhelming for many property owners. According to the MIT Center for Real Estate, there are over 3,000 companies reinventing how the real estate industry operates. As more residents come to expect this technology, landlords will have no choice but to jump on the technology bandwagon.
Last month we touched on the ever-expanding world of proptech and discussed a few of the different apps we have our eye on. Today we want to highlight what we have found to be the most important specific feature improving the residential tenant experience and also that of the property owner; the resident portal. In the past few years, resident portals have made streamlined the property management process from application, to rent collection and maintenance. For the property owner, portals allow for easily accessed data and transparent accounting.
As we approach the close of this decade let’s take a look back at some of the largest and significant residential & mixed-use developments in Boston. As a property management and brokerage firm, we are constantly monitoring the residential market and these projects have had a major impact on Boston’s neighborhoods, sales and rental pricing, and in many cases the skyline. We will also highlight a few upcoming projects sure to make an impact in the coming decade as the city works to reach Mayor Walsh’s goal of creating 69,000 new units of housing by the year 2030.
