Homma Group Inc. (Homma), a hybridized technology developer, designer and builder of turnkey smart homes, is partnering with Mitsubishi Corporation’s real estate investment subsidiary, Diamond Realty Investments Inc. (DRI). Homma develops proprietary technology for homes – blended with modern architecture and design, and sourced quality materials – to create harmonious living experiences. Partner companies and builders like these can leverage Homma’s Cornerstone AI (Architectural Intelligence) platform to embed smart technology into their projects – and as a centralized management tool for installed devices and services when units are occupied.
In their initial joint development project, Homma and DRI are working with builder Alamo Manhattan to bring Homma’s aesthetics and living experience to 30 rental units in the new Willamette Tower currently under construction in the South Waterfront District of Portland, Oregon. These units will feature an adaptive lighting system, integrated connected door locks and smart thermostats.
“The collaboration between DRI and Homma is a proof-of-concept within the emerging smart-home market that has been challenged with delivering ubiquitous solutions to an exponentially growing ‘do-it-for-me’ segment demanding ease-of-use and simplicity. DRI gains the most advanced platform for delivering pre-built smart technology and the benefits of modern living to residents today. Homma Group gains a one-to-many partner that will be a key driver in our mission to quickly expand into urban markets undergoing major growth. We look forward to continuing to work with DRI and to exploring the many other opportunities for growth and collaboration,” said Takeshi (Ted) Homma, Homma founder and CEO.
The Homma interior living experience is highly functional, intuitive to control and easy to care for. Further, the system can receive over-the-air software updates that add new features and enhance existing ones, with controls discreetly housed in a central hub in the home. The technology is fully integrated into the structure and blends into the minimalist interior design. Additionally, the Homma app facilitates a smooth living experience for residents, dramatically simplifying the smart home environment while also enabling 24/7 support.
Homma recently announced Homma Haus Woodstock, its second project in Portland, Oregon. Previously, its Homma Haus Mount Tabor was the nation’s first pre-configured, multi-family smart townhome community project.
