Carr Properties Redefines Commercial Spaces
HARRISON, NY (March 4, 2021) - Nard’s, Inc. and URC (Universal Remote Control) have teamed up to produce a new automation and control system offering, now being used by commercial real estate leaders like Carr Properties in Washington, D.C. and Boston, Massachusetts.
Designed by Nard’s, Inc. and built on URC’s Total Control® automation and control system, this new technology delivered by Accelerator 3, Total Control’s new operating software version, enables companies to optimize efficiency by:
- automating simple processes like lighting and building or room access
- optimizing resources like utilities
- driving employee efficiency by eliminating simple tasks
- ensuring safety and security with audio and camera
- adding guest enjoyment with entertainment customized for unique spaces
URC and Nard’s are installing a state-of-the-art high-definition audio (HDA) system into Carr Properties’ newest project, Signal House, to add to the immersive experience office customers and guests will have as they move throughout the space. This 10-story trophy office building in the historic Union Market neighborhood of Washington D.C., will feature this system as one of the exceptional amenities Carr Properties is offering to meet the needs of today’s workforce.
The technology will also be available in Carr Properties’ flexible office concept, WaveOffice. Created to meet the needs of established firms, small companies, project-based consulting teams, and nimble organizations seeking professional, flexible workspace, WaveOffice provides customers with personally branded 5- to 30-person private suites with short-term, simple, all-inclusive leases. Equipped with advanced technology by URC and Nard’s, Inc., WaveOffice delivers unparalleled flexibility among unique amenity and professional spaces, empowering companies to ramp up quickly, provide high-quality offices for limited engagements, or plan for rapid growth.
"Integrating the Nard’s Inc. and URC technology has been seamless, which is a plus as we look to use this system in multiple locations within our portfolio,” said Ilan Zachar, SVP & Chief Technology Officer at Carr Properties.
