Get out those iPhones! Every company at 167 Green Street in Chicago can offer all of their staff building access through employee badges in Apple Wallet. Located in Chicago’s Fulton Market District neighborhood, 167 Green Street is the first multi-tenant office building in the United States to offer the benefit.
The technological deployment for 167 Green’s Apple Wallet integration was done in collaboration with Sharry, a European proptech company, and HID Global, a global provider of secure identity solutions. 167’s employee badge was designed by Don C., a streetwear designer and Chicago native.
Tenants can now securely tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock office doors, turnstiles, elevators and key card-protected amenity spaces — eliminating the need to open an app or present a traditional plastic access key. Even if a user’s iPhone needs to be charged, they will still be able to access the building for up to five hours after with Power Reserve.
“We continuously strive to innovate and improve our tenant experience. We are thrilled to be the first multi-tenant office building in the United States to offer all tenants access through the employee badge in Apple Wallet,” said Jeff Shapack, founder and CEO of Shapack Partners. “167 Green’s hospitality-inspired amenities, design and technology stack provides tenants with a seamless experience.”
