Insights
The integration of resident keys in Apple Wallet at Silver Towers represents a significant technological advancement in residential access control. The implementation combines NFC technology, mobile credentials and enterprise-grade security systems from multiple vendors including Allegion's Schlage locks and Kastle's access control platform. The Express Mode and Power Reserve features address critical user experience concerns, ensuring functionality even with a depleted battery.
From a technical perspective, the multi-vendor integration through SwiftConnect's AccessCloud platform demonstrates sophisticated API orchestration and secure credential management. This deployment showcases how enterprise-level access control technology, typically reserved for commercial buildings, is being adapted for residential use, potentially setting a new standard for smart apartment security infrastructure.
This development signals a strategic pivot in the multi-family housing market towards digital transformation. While the immediate financial impact on Allegion (ALLE) is modest, the broader implications for the access control market are noteworthy. The residential access control market is projected to grow significantly, with smart locks expected to reach
The partnership positions Allegion favorably in the high-end residential market, particularly as property developers seek to differentiate through technology amenities. However, the competitive landscape is intensifying with similar solutions from dormakaba and ASSA ABLOY. The real value proposition lies in the ecosystem integration rather than hardware alone, suggesting a need for Allegion to continue strengthening its software and integration capabilities to maintain market position.
All residents at 606 West 42nd Street, a multi-family housing location in
Silverstein's residential tenants now have an easy and secure way to add a resident key to Apple Wallet to access the apartment building and unlock their homes with a simple tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch—thus eliminating the need to use a traditional, physical key.
"We're excited to make it easy for our residents to use their resident key in Apple Wallet to get into their buildings, homes, and common areas, which builds upon our previous offering to office tenants who use their employee badge in Apple Wallet to access offices and shared spaces including lounges, cafes, conference facilities, and yoga studios," said Tal Kerret, President of Silverstein Properties.
The rollout of keys in Apple Wallet marks an important milestone for the
"The Silver Towers project builds on SwiftConnect's success in delivering seamless access via NFC wallets across the most iconic commercial real estate properties in
To provide residential tenants with this experience, SwiftConnect integrates with the Kastle Access Control platform; Schlage® mobile credentials; and access control devices from Allegion™, as well as all other necessary business platforms and systems to create a unified digital network for hassle-free mobile access.
"Kastle is thrilled to be a partner on the Silver Tower project, leveraging Kastle's robust and proven access-control products to create a modern access-control solution that delivers an unparalleled experience both property owners and residents can trust," said Haniel Lynn, CEO of Kastle.
"We are excited to work with SwiftConnect and play an important role in Silver Tower's resident key in Apple Wallet multifamily housing deployment," said Mark Casey, Vice President National Electronic Sales of Allegion. "Resident Keys in Apple Wallet—alongside our Schlage mobile credentials and Schlage mobile-enabled wireless locks—not only enhances security and convenience for residents, but also exemplifies our commitment to driving the future of seamless access and smart apartment technology."
How seamless access works at Silver Towers:
- Tenants can add their resident key to Apple Wallet after an initial set-up through Silverstein's Inspire app, using SwiftConnect's AccessCloud platform. Once added, tenants can hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a door reader or smart lock for seamless access to the apartment building, their home, and shared fitness and amenity spaces.
- With Express Mode, tenants don't need to wake or unlock their device to use their resident key—they can simply hold their device near a reader and go. If an iPhone needs to be charged, they can still use their device to access their apartment and amenity spaces with Power Reserve.
- Resident key in Apple Wallet takes full advantage of the privacy and security features already built into iPhone and Apple Watch. Data is encrypted and protected against tampering and theft, and Apple cannot see when and where a resident uses a home key in Wallet.
The new offering falls under Inspire, Silverstein's holistic customer experience program that reshapes how, when, and where the company's customers live and work. Inspire brings hospitality services, social and wellness programming, data-driven workplace technology, and a flexible workspace solution under one umbrella.
