Smart‑Home Standards in 2025 Luxury Condos: What “Turnkey” Should Include
The Baseline in 2025
“Turnkey” now means unified, app‑based control that is secure, intuitive, and pre‑commissioned at delivery. Expect whole‑home lighting and shade automation, climate management, leak and intrusion sensors, and a private network with enterprise‑grade security. At the top of the market, brands are setting expectations—think automotive‑inspired precision at Bentley Residences, riverfront engineering at Aston Martin Residences, and hospitality‑level services at EDITION Residences Edgewater.
Core Systems Buyers Should See Installed
Infrastructure: Category‑6A or better wired backbone; Wi‑Fi 6E (or Wi‑Fi 7 ready) with coverage mapped and tested. Power & Readiness: EV‑ready parking, in‑panel surge protection, and dedicated circuits for AV, shades, and filtration. Controls: A single, encrypted resident app with local fallback (wall keypads) and role‑based digital access for family, staff, and vendors. Wellness: Centralized air filtration with MERV‑13+ or equivalent, smart water monitoring, and circadian lighting scenes pre‑programmed for wake, work, and rest. Security: Encrypted video intercom, private elevator credentialing, and guest codes that expire automatically.
Building‑Level Technology that Matters
True turnkey extends beyond the front door. Look for digital valet and service scheduling, cold‑storage and package automation, and staff devices that integrate with the resident app. Concierge messaging should support private dining, wellness bookings, and marina or driver arrangements where relevant. High‑end towers—whether in Brickell or Edgewater—are normalizing this, and next‑gen icons like Waldorf Astoria Residences Miami point to a cloud‑backed service layer built for longevity.
Commissioning, Privacy & Longevity
Ask for a commissioning report at closing: device inventory, firmware versions, network layout, and maintenance timelines. Demand clear data practices—what is stored locally, what hits the cloud, and how guest credentials are purged. Finally, evaluate upgrade paths; systems should accept over‑the‑air updates and allow component swaps without rewiring. When these boxes are ticked, “turnkey” is not just convenient—it protects value on resale.
