Comments Off on Shaping the future of real estate in SEA: Reflections on WiredScore’s launch in the Philippines and our vision for 2025
As I reflect on my first three months as WiredScore’s Head of Southeast Asia, I’m struck by the immense potential and appetite for change I’ve witnessed across the region. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Philippines, a country poised to redefine its commercial real estate sector through the power of resilient digital infrastructure.
Our entry into the Philippines this past November marked a pivotal milestone for WiredScore and for the country’s real estate industry. This expansion signifies more than just our growing footprint in Southeast Asia; it’s a response to the growing demand for smarter and better connected buildings that anticipate and meet the expectations of modern occupiers.
The reception from the Philippines real estate community has been nothing short of inspiring. Industry leaders are embracing the opportunity to differentiate their assets in a competitive marketplace. We’ve seen major players like NEO, Daiichi Properties, Menarco Development Corporation, Arthaland Corporation, and Araneta City take decisive action by committing their flagship buildings to WiredScore and SmartScore certifications.
These early adopters understand that superior digital connectivity is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a “must-have” for occupiers and investors alike. Buildings like Menarco Tower, Neo 5, 6 and 7 which achieved WiredScore Platinum certification, and Savya Financial Center, which earned WiredScore Gold, are setting new benchmarks for excellence. Their ambition is setting the stage for others to follow, and we’re seeing more developers express interest in certification as a key differentiator for 2025.
Comments Off on Paving the path to progress: WiredScore’s story in India so far
Six months ago, we set out to bring WiredScore to India with one clear mission: to establish digital connectivity as a cornerstone of modern real estate. Our goal was to empower India’s real estate sector with a globally recognized benchmark for connectivity, and our journey has been transformative, marked by growth, partnerships, and impact. As we look back on the past six months, it’s clear our mission is taking shape.
This reflection highlights the partnerships we’ve built, the lessons we’ve learned, and the progress we’re making for the future. Here’s a closer look at our journey so far and where we’re headed next.
Comments Off on Insights 2025: Building for people
At WiredScore, we’re in a unique position at the intersection of real estate and technology. It’s an exciting time to witness the convergence of two industries that were once separate but are now becoming increasingly intertwined. While the journey has had its challenges—shaped by macroeconomic and social forces—the progress we’ve seen is both inspiring and promising.
While the path to a smarter, more connected built environment hasn’t been as linear as we anticipated, we’re proud to see some of the world’s leading landlords and developers leveraging technology to navigate today’s complex challenges, from hybrid work to rising interest rates.
Comments Off on Brent Cross Town certified as Europe’s first WiredScore and SmartScore Neighbourhood
Brent Cross Town, the £8bn mixed use park town for London being delivered in partnership between Related Argent and Barnet Council, has been awarded global WiredScore and SmartScore Neighbourhood status, confirming the town meets world-leading technology standards.
Brent Cross Town is the first place in Europe to achieve both WiredScore and SmartScore Neighbourhood certifications and keeps company with nine other projects around the world, including Water Street Tampa, Florida, New England’s Cambridge Crossing and America’s largest mixed-use private real estate development, Hudson Yards in Manhattan, developed by Related Argent’s US partner, Related Companies.
WiredScore is the only global certification body for technology in real estate. WiredScore and SmartScore ratings measure connectivity across a range of factors that include fast and reliable internet that ensures seamless communications between buildings, zones, and residential and commercial spaces; increased technological resilience and productivity; improved human and digital connections; robust data privacy and cybersecurity measures; and the quality of the technology experience for workers, residents and visitors.
Early examples of market-leading technology implementations at Brent Cross Town include:
Providing ultrafast internet to every home and free Wi-Fi in public squares.
Delivering a mobility strategy that will incorporate both established and emerging technologies including e-bikes and potential for passenger air taxi vertiports.
Introducing sensors that monitor the environmental conditions of the public realm such as air quality to support healthy living and community flourishing.
Using Smart Building technologies to enhance the energy efficiency of office buildings.
Digital technology is at the centre of 21st-century life and has become essential to our ability to live and work efficiently, from enabling communication with people from around the world, to enhancing the energy efficiency of our buildings and integrating the latest technologies as they come forward. These certifications enable those who visit, live, work, and study in Brent Cross Town to feel confident the spaces they are using are at the forefront of technology-enabled, future-proofed experiences.
Matt Flood, Head of Commercial Development at Related Argent, says: “Providing great connections, whether physical, social or digital, is a core pillar of our vision for Brent Cross Town and fundamental to creating a net zero town in which all can flourish. Being the first place in Europe to achieve both WiredScore and SmartScore Neighbourhood certifications demonstrates that Brent Cross Town is at the cutting edge of digital connectivity and smart city technology. This is a long-term partnership, which means Brent Cross Town can stay ahead of the game and at the forefront of the rapidly changing technological landscape.”
William Newton, CEO at WiredScore, added: “WiredScore and SmartScore certifications signify technological excellence in real estate. Brent Cross Town’s achievement of both certifications is testament to Related Argent’s forward-thinking approach to regeneration. Related Argent’s accomplishment underscores their commitment to a district-level technology strategy that fosters sustainable behaviours and ensures that future residents, commercial occupiers and visitors to Brent Cross Town feel connected, safe and inspired. We take great pride in certifying communities like Brent Cross Town that are designed for people to flourish in a digital age.”
Brent Cross Town is a 15-year regeneration project which when complete will comprise 6,700 new homes, workspace for 25,000 people in a 3m sq ft business and innovation district, a new high street, leisure spaces and more than 50 acres of parks and playing fields. As construction progresses, the individual buildings at Brent Cross Town are being designed to WiredScore and SmartScore certification standards.
By partnering with WiredScore, Brent Cross Town is ensuring that the technology and digital solutions deployed directly contribute to its four pledges – to be the place in London for participation in sport and play; a net zero carbon town; to strengthen connections; and to be a town where all can flourish.
The achievement of WiredScore and SmartScore Neighbourhood status underlines the strong progress being made at Brent Cross Town. Seven buildings are now under construction, with the first residents moving into the town later this year. The first office building, 3 Copper Square, is underway and will be completed in 2026. In total, over 930 homes, including affordable, market sale, and rental homes are on-site, along with 662 student rooms in partnership with Fusion Students. The first permanent public park, Claremont Park, opened in June 2022 and Brent Cross West mainline station, which opened in December 2023, connects with St Pancras International in as little as 12 minutes. Brent Cross Town already boasts a selection of local retail and leisure offerings, and Sheffield Hallam University will open its first campus outside Sheffield at Brent Cross Town.
