Tishman Speyer’s global portfolio — from Boston to Shanghai — includes iconic properties such as 30 Rockefeller Plaza, home to tenants like NBC and Pfizer.

Each tenant operated independently with its own PACS and credential systems, making a portfolio-wide upgrade to modern access control systems a complex undertaking. 

Modernizing legacy technology, coordinating thousands of users, and preserving a seamless “street-to-seat” tenant experience required meticulous planning. Balancing security and convenience across dozens of Class-A properties was a high-stakes puzzle. To tackle this initiative, Tishman Speyer needed access control systems for multi-tenant buildings that could standardize security while still adapting to the unique needs of each property.

“When you’re dealing with A-List tenants paying top dollar for space in your building, you want to make it easy for them to feel safe and be safe in every part of your facility.”
