Rudin Management Company | Rudin Portfolio: Machine Learning and AI Optimized Building Initiative
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.
Founded in 1925, Rudin Management Company oversees operations of 33 properties in New York City. Its portfolio is comprised of 17 residential buildings totaling 4.7 million square feet and 16 commercial office buildings totaling 10.5 million square feet. In recent decades, focus has turned to both optimizing building management with advanced technology and pursuing best-in-class approaches to environmental responsibility.
Rudin is committed to the sustainable management of its existing portfolio and construction of all new buildings.
Nearly 25 years ago, Rudin transformed 55 Broad Street into the first fully wired office building in the world. Called "The New York Information Technology Center," it went on to win the Realcomm Digie award in 2000 for Best Use of Technology. It established Rudin as a global thought leader in the advancement of technology within the built environment. 55 Broad is considered by many as the “grandfather” of all smart buildings and its reopening helped kick-start the renaissance of Lower Manhattan into the 24/7, live/work community it is today. Many award-winning, innovative properties have followed. To operate buildings as intelligently as possible, in 2013 Rudin piloted Nantum OS, the world’s first operating system for the built environment and have continued further development and sale of software applications that make real estate run more efficiently while also enhancing the tenant experience.
