NEW YORK, NY, December 18, 2024<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 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\u2019s Silver Towers residential property at 606 West 42nd Street in New York City.<\/p>\n

Silverstein\u2019s 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\u2014thus eliminating the need to use a traditional, physical key.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re 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,\u201d said Tal Kerret, President of Silverstein Properties.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Silver Towers project builds on SwiftConnect\u2019s success in delivering seamless access via NFC wallets across the most iconic commercial real estate properties in New York and beyond,\u201d said Matt Kopel, co-CEO and President of SwiftConnect.\u00a0\u201cWe 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\u2014while also automating the process of managing keys and access.\u201d<\/p>\n

To provide residential tenants with this experience, SwiftConnect integrates with the Kastle Access Control platform; Schlage\u00ae mobile credentials; and access control devices from Allegion\u2122, as well as all other necessary business platforms and systems to create a unified digital network for hassle-free mobile access.<\/p>\n

\u201cKastle is thrilled to be a partner on the Silver Tower project, leveraging Kastle\u2019s 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,\u201d said Haniel Lynn, CEO of Kastle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to work with SwiftConnect and play an important role in Silver Tower’s resident key in Apple Wallet multifamily housing deployment,\u201d said Mark Casey, Vice President National Electronic Sales of Allegion.\u00a0\u201cResident Keys in Apple Wallet\u2014alongside our Schlage mobile credentials and Schlage mobile-enabled wireless locks\u2014not only enhances security and convenience for residents, but also exemplifies our commitment to driving the future of seamless access and smart apartment technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
