The fully connected smart apartment platform for modern multifamily properties
Sphere’s Digital Native Apartment (DNA) platform transforms multifamily residential properties into fully connected smart living environments – keyless entry, automated climate, smart lighting, and integrated tenant apps – built on the Matter standard for universal device compatibility and interoperability.

Why This Matters Now
Multifamily property operators face a technology paradox: residents increasingly demand smart home features, but deploying proprietary smart home systems is expensive, creates vendor lock-in, and becomes obsolete faster than the buildings they’re installed in. 70% of PropTech smart apartment deployments fail to scale because of device fragmentation and maintenance complexity.
1. Device Fragmentation Creates Maintenance Nightmares
Properties with mixed smart home ecosystems (Apple, Google, Amazon, proprietary) require different apps, different protocols, and different support systems for each – multiplying maintenance costs and resident frustration.
2. Proprietary Platforms Create Lock-In
Smart apartment platforms that require proprietary hardware lock operators into a single vendor indefinitely – with no competitive pricing pressure and no easy exit strategy.
3. High Installation Costs Kill ROI
Traditional smart apartment deployments cost $2,000–$5,000 per unit in hardware and installation – making it difficult to achieve ROI at typical rental premium levels.
What Sphere Delivers
Sphere’s DNA platform is built entirely on the Matter standard – the universal smart home protocol – ensuring that any Matter-certified device from any manufacturer works seamlessly with the platform. This eliminates vendor lock-in, enables competitive hardware procurement, and ensures long-term compatibility as new Matter devices come to market.
Matter-Native Device Interoperability
All devices – locks, thermostats, lighting, sensors – communicate via the Matter standard. Any new Matter-certified device on the market can be added to the platform without custom integration.
White-Label Resident Mobile App
Branded resident mobile app with keyless entry, climate control, guest access, maintenance requests, and amenity booking – all in one place.
Property Management Console
Centralized dashboard for property managers: unit status, access logs, energy consumption, maintenance alerts, and resident communications.
Automated Climate Intelligence
Vacancy-based HVAC control reduces energy waste in unoccupied units by 35–50%. Automated turnaround cooling/heating when units change occupancy.
Smart Access & Security
Keyless entry with per-person access schedules, visitor management, package lockers, and integration with existing security camera systems.
Hardware Vendor Flexibility
Source smart locks, thermostats, sensors, and lighting from multiple Matter-certified vendors without redesigning the platform every time hardware changes.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere’s DNA platform is built for multifamily and residential operators who want one smart living environment across access, climate, security, and resident experience without getting trapped in a single hardware ecosystem. The stack combines Matter-native device interoperability, AWS-based cloud services, mobile and web applications, legacy bridge support, and property-system integrations so owners and operators can scale connected apartments on a flexible long-term foundation.
Who This Is For
New Construction
Specify Matter-native smart apartment systems at construction – dramatically lower cost vs retrofit and optimal resident experience from day one.
Class A Retrofit
Upgrade existing Class A properties with smart apartment features to maintain competitive positioning and achieve rental premium.
Student Housing
High-turnover-optimized smart access, energy management, and resident engagement for student housing portfolios.
Senior Living
Safety monitoring, emergency response integration, and simplified resident interfaces for senior living communities.
Co-Living
Flexible access management and shared amenity booking for co-living operators managing high-density, flexible lease properties.

How It Works
Property Assessment
Sphere assesses existing infrastructure, identifies installation approach, and specifies hardware for each unit type.
Pilot Building
Deploy full DNA platform in 1 pilot building. Validate resident experience, management workflows, and integration with PMS.
App & Console Launch
Deploy white-labeled resident app and property management console. Train property management staff.
Rollout & Support
Systematically deploy across portfolio using lessons learned from pilot. Sphere provides project management and installation coordination.

ROI & Bussines Impact
Properties on the DNA platform command an average rental premium of 12–18% for smart apartment units. Combined with 35–50% energy cost reductions in common areas and units, and 40% lower maintenance costs from predictive issue detection, most operators achieve full ROI within 18 months.
For a 200-unit building, typical annual net benefit exceeds $280K.
