MDU Developers Turn to Broadband

New research from Parks Associates indicates high-tech amenities like broadband, security, and energy controls positively influence the sale and rental of multifamily properties.

Researchers found nearly 50 percent of multiple-dwelling unit developers are seeking new electronic products and services that will differentiate their properties in an increasingly competitive market.

In particular, in-unit broadband service is becoming a “must-have” feature, with 60 percent of multi-family units offering some form of high-speed Internet. Security systems and monitoring services, electronic locks, and energy/utility management systems are also becoming more common in order to increase the speed of sale or rental of an MDU property.
