Case Study: Core Redevelopment achieves modernized resident experience and new revenue streams with DOOR (Latch)

Core Redevelopment and Latch Retrofit Historic Buildings with Modern Tech

Core Redevelopment, a Midwest developer that revitalizes historic buildings across Indiana and Ohio, faced the challenge of adding modern technology without disrupting the character of its unique properties or alienating residents who prefer traditional communication. They needed a flexible access solution that would retrofit easily into former schools, stadiums and other older buildings while improving operations and resident experience.

DOOR implemented a full-building smart access operating system with cloud and Bluetooth updates and flexible connectivity (ethernet/Wi‑Fi/cellular) so devices work without running new wiring. The solution enabled scheduled and temporary vendor access, faster maintenance entry, and a seamless resident experience that residents accepted — even paying a monthly technology fee that now generates additional recurring revenue. DOOR’s system has been rolled out to every new building and retrofitted into most existing properties, boosting operational efficiency and resident satisfaction.
