Averly Collins Hill is a forward-thinking community designed to elevate the tenant experience while simplifying property management. SB Comm stepped in with a clear objective: deliver a reliable, intuitive, and future-ready technology ecosystem across multiple buildings.
The outcome is a smart, connected community where apartment residents enjoy easy access to their units and amenities. At the same time, the property managers benefit from systems that streamline operations and protect assets from damage. Every project element reflects SB Comm’s commitment to performance, clarity, and long-term value.
The goal was ambitious: create an elegant tenant experience powered by innovative technology while building an efficient operational backbone for management.
The scope of the Averly Collins Hill project included eight buildings—seven residential properties totaling 300 apartments and one amenities center with a fitness space, pool, full access control, and a Luxer package management system.
The client wanted systems that were easy to manage and didn’t require extensive staff and resident training to benefit from them. From unit access to community amenities, everything needed to be simple, reliable, and intuitive.
SB Comm led the technology planning, coordinating with architects, designers, and trades to document communication and clarify decisions. Our team maximized every investment to deliver measurable value and long-term ROI.
Early in the process, discrepancies surfaced in designs provided by outside low-voltage consultants. By identifying and correcting those issues early, SB Comm prevented costly mistakes and guaranteed proper system implementation.
The Technology: Connected Solutions for Every Building
Inside the apartment units, residents now enjoy Yale Z-Wave smart locks for secure entry, along with SmartRent thermostats and leak detection sensors. These features improve residents’ everyday comfort while also preventing costly damage in vacant units. Looking ahead, the property management team can save money, reduce the likelihood of extensive, unnoticed damage, and improve efficiency.
The amenities building became a showcase of easy control and convenience. A Control4 system manages audiovisual and security systems across shared spaces, with Origin Acoustics providing community audio that enhances the atmosphere. For property-wide security, SB Comm deployed Qolsys intrusion systems, Unifi enterprise surveillance, and SmartRent access control for the apartment units and amenity center.
Every detail of this expansive project was chosen for its ability to work cohesively in a single control environment, creating a consistent, reliable technology experience for tenants and staff alike.
The Investment and the Impact
By guiding the project from the earliest stages, SB Comm ensured that every dollar in the $800,000–$1,000,000 budget was allocated to effective, future-proof solutions. The collaboration across trades and proactive documentation and management kept the project on track despite its scale and complexity.
SB Comm’s leadership didn’t stop at installation. By structuring technology decisions with a long-term vision, the systems now support efficient operations, reduced maintenance overhead, and better energy management across the entire Averly Collins Hill community.
The Outcome: Elevated Living, Smarter Management
Averly Collins Hill now operates as a luxury smart community where residents and staff interact with technology that enhances their daily lives. Tenants enjoy secure, keyless entry, reliable climate control, and easy access to amenities. Property managers oversee systems through a unified platform that reduces time, lowers costs, and prevents unnecessary issues like water damage in vacant units.
The project delivers tangible ROI: higher tenant satisfaction, operational efficiency, and significant energy savings. Averly Collins Hill proves that when SB Comm leads the technology vision, communities gain both luxury and lasting performance.
SB Comm delivered a solution that prioritizes simplicity, durability, and style. Residents, staff, and guests now move through a stunning, more effective space where the technology quietly supports their needs.
