How retrofit-ready solutions like AccessIQ are unlocking value for small to mid-sized multifamily communities

When people think of proptech, they picture luxury high-rises: sleek lobbies, mobile access, and sky-high rents. But the biggest opportunity for smart technology isn’t the penthouse—it’s the properties already built.

Across the country, small to mid-sized multifamily communities are still relying on physical keys, outdated security systems, and little to no insight into who’s coming and going. These aren’t buildings undergoing multimillion-dollar renovations—but they house millions of renters who still expect modern convenience and peace of mind.

Smart access has long been seen as the domain of new builds with big tech budgets. That’s where AccessIQ changes the game.

With mobile-first access, long-lasting rechargeable batteries, and built-in cellular connectivity (no Wi-Fi required), AccessIQ brings high-end functionality to communities that need simplicity, flexibility, and affordability.

In other words, AccessIQ is proptech designed for everyone—not just the penthouse.

Built for Retrofit. Ready for Reality.

Whether you're managing a 40-unit walk-up or a 200-door garden-style community, AccessIQ makes it easy to modernize without overhauling because it’s engineered specifically for retrofits. That means:

  • No wiring
  • No construction disruption
  • Mobile-first and Apple Wallet–ready features

The Underserved Middle of the Market

While high-end Class A buildings get the bulk of tech attention, it’s Class B and C properties that represent the biggest market segment—and the biggest potential for impact.

These communities often operate on tight margins. But smart access can reduce operational headaches, boost tenant satisfaction, and increase NOI by enabling:

  • Remote access management
  • Faster unit turnover and onboarding of new residents
  • Better vendor and guest control
  • Enhanced security and accountability

It’s more than convenience. It’s a strategic upgrade that delivers real ROI.

Proptech That Meets You Where You Are

AccessIQ isn’t about flash—it’s about fit. We’ve built a solution that works with your existing infrastructure, your staffing model, and your residents’ expectations.

Because the future of multifamily access shouldn’t depend on how new your building is. It should depend on how smart your technology is.
