The Future of Smart Communities

LOS ANGELES—Brookfield is leading the path toward smart homes and smart communities with some in-home technology that is already available for consumer use.

LOS ANGELES—Smart living is right around the corner, and in some instances, it is already here. The technology can lock doors, operate lights, detect moisture and clean air and generally boost the sustainability of a home while also reliving homeowners of menial tasks (you’ll never wonder again if you left the oven on). Brookfield Residential is one of a few home developers dedicating resources to developing and integrating this technology into its homes. Tomorrow, Tuesday January 31, the firm’s COO Adrian Foley will join ULI Los Angeles and VerdeXchange for FutureBuild 2017, a discussion of the future of the built environment and how it is impacting sustainability, resiliency and creativity. We sat down with Foley in advance of the event to hear how Brookfield is advancing smart communities and what the future of smart homes looks like.
