LOS ANGELES—In the near future, all of our living spaces—home, work, hotel—will be able to communicate. Commercial real estate owners and developers are looking at ways to connect property types through smart technology. For now, this is still a concept, but the realization is not far away. Brookfield Residential is working on smart technology in its residential projects, while Hilton Hotels is looking at creating a more home-like environment in guestrooms.

“These are the kind of things that are going to extend the experience for those individuals and organizations that advance technology,” Adrian Foley, COO at Brookfield Residential, tells GlobeSt.com. “Wouldn’t it be great if you could bring the same technology into the hotel room, so that the room instantly recognized you and you had the same settings that you would have at home: your Pandora account, your Netflix account and all of your settings would be uploaded to the room. You could literally put your phone in a docking station, and it would feel like your own master bedroom.”
