Challenge

The owner of a 2016-built high-rise was managing constant internet complaints from residents forced to choose among multiple ISPs. Service was inconsistent, onboarding was slow, and frustrated residents were voicing dissatisfaction in online reviews. Ownership was earning zero revenue from a service every resident was paying for every month.

Solution

Skyrise Wi-Fi retrofitted the property using the building's existing risers and fiber backbone. Access points were added to every unit and common area. Internet was bundled into monthly rent, turning the program into a predictable, property-controlled revenue stream effective on move-in day.

Challenge

In 2025, ownership was looking for new NOI without relying on rent growth. Traditional income streams such as parking and storage were already maximized. The community needed a scalable recurring revenue solution across 13 buildings that would also strengthen long-term asset value ahead of a potential sale.

Solution

Skyrise Wi-Fi retrofitted all 13 buildings with a community-wide network reaching every unit and amenity space. Internet was bundled into rent, creating an immediate new revenue line. Ownership gained a single managed system replacing coordination across multiple ISPs and buildings.

Challenge

The developer needed to differentiate a new luxury high-rise in a competitive downtown Austin market. Internet was consistently ranked as the top amenity by renters, but relying on outside providers would mean missed revenue and resident frustration from day one. The goal was move-in ready internet with NOI and asset value built into the pro forma from the start.

Solution

Skyrise Wi-Fi engaged during pre-construction to design the network infrastructure. A single property-wide system was integrated with fiber backbone and access points in every unit and common area. Internet was included in monthly rent from day one of delivery, with no ISP contracts or installation appointments for residents.

Challenge

The developer planned a large suburban garden-style community and needed strong financial performance from day one. Traditional ISPs would have forced residents into individual contracts, leaving revenue unrealized. The developer needed a solution that would increase monthly NOI, strengthen long-term asset value, and position the community for a higher future sale price.

Solution

Skyrise Wi-Fi partnered during pre-construction to design a fiber-backed network connecting all 11 buildings, with access points in every unit and common area. Internet was bundled into rent at delivery, creating a predictable new revenue line that directly strengthened the pro forma and long-term asset value.
