All residents at 606 West 42nd Street, a
multi-family housing location in New York
City, are able to access the building, their units, and
amenities with a simple tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch
NEW
YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Silverstein
Properties, a leading real estate development, investment, and
management firm, and its partners SwiftConnect, Allegion, and
Kastle, today announced they are live with resident keys in Apple
Wallet for all apartment units at a multi-family housing location:
Silverstein's Silver Towers residential property at 606 West 42nd
Street in New York City.
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 U.S. real estate industry, as property owners and employers
reimagine the home and workplace experience for residents, office
tenants, and employees.
"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 New
York and beyond," said Matt
Kopel, co-CEO and President of SwiftConnect. "We are
excited to once again partner with Silverstein Properties and to
extend our leadership into the multi-family housing market. Now,
residents can easily access their personal spaces with their iPhone
and Apple Watch, and property teams are able to enhance security
for their residents—while also automating the process of managing
keys and access."
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.

enhance tenant experience. The company has built a reputation for
developing exceptional projects, enhancing local communities,
providing outstanding services to customers and partners, and
