Kingsett Capital & Triovest | 2 Bloor Street West: Smart Building Transformation
The IBcon Smart Building Best Practice Showcase is an annual event held at the Realcomm | IBcon conference where real estate leaders present their most innovative, technology driven commercial and corporate real estate projects. These projects demonstrate leading-edge technologies and vision for intelligent and adaptive design that is transforming the next generation of IT-enabled real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each week.
New smart buildings designed “from the ground up” face challenges, but at least they start with a fresh slate.
Smart retrofits are a huge market segment for enabling better energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and a better user experience – but they require expertise with both legacy systems and future-proof technologies. Kingsett Capital and Triovest Realty Partners rely on a mutual entrepreneurial mindset to deliver superior value in existing real estate. The tower at 2 Bloor was constructed in the early 1970s. It has been transformed into a truly modern smart building, with fully strategized design and multiple integrated systems. Its data intelligence program drives ESG and sustainability performance for greater resiliency. It was the first building in Canada to receive SmartScore certification.
