Smart home builders are challenged with delivering mass housing solutions to an exponentially growing do-it-for-me segment demanding ease-of-use and simplicity. The HOMMA smart home model is unique to the residential real estate market: The company designs and builds both single and multi-family homes, and has also developed proprietary technology that, in concert with modern architecture and design, and sourced quality materials, creates more harmonious living experiences.
HOMMA plans to expand its business by focusing on collaboration projects with partner companies and builders who develop multi-family homes and share the same vision. Such collaborations will allow HOMMA to rapidly share the HOMMA Future Living Experience to a broader audience.
As an example of this collaboration, Mitsubishi Corporation’s real estate investment subsidiary, Diamond Realty Investments, Inc., along with Alamo Manhattan, are leveraging HOMMA’s designs and proprietary technology including software, hardware and integrated apps to deliver a seamless smart home experience into its projects.
