BOSTON — When someone shells out the money to live in a luxury apartment, they expect state-of-the-art features and amenities.

Portside at East Pier, one of the area’s newest luxury apartment communities, is part of a 26-acre, master-planned development that’s bringing 550 luxury residences and 70,000 square feet of retail space to East Boston’s Jeffries Point.

In order to enhance its resident’s living experience, the community integrated the ButterflyMX smart intercom platform.

ButterflyMX technology includes the ability to open and manage doors from a smartphone, simplified package delivery and seamless visitor entry.

Built upon touchscreen hardware and Cloud-based software, the platform is secure, easy to install and use, and provides a complete building entry solution in today’s keyless world, according to the company.

In addition to seamless building entry, ButterflyMX integrates with a wide variety of smart technologies that are found throughout the buildings, including door locks, elevator controls, service providers such as dog walkers or house cleaners, and food and package delivery companies. The platform’s open API also allows for integration with any new technologies which may become available in the future.

The smart intercom platform’s video call, audit trail reporting and virtual key functionalities provide an added level of security. Building residents can take advantage of convenient entry for trusted visitors and deliveries, including the ability to grant managed access, via personalized PINs and virtual keys.

“We are thrilled to partner with Roseland Residential Trust to offer ButterflyMX as a game changing amenity at Portside at East Pier,” says Cyrus Claffey, CEO and co-founder of ButterflyMX. “Smart, Cloud-enabled buildings offer powerful benefits for both building occupants and landlords, in the form of convenience, security and cost-savings. Since ButterflyMX has an open API platform, it’s a great first step to making a building fully cloud-connected and smart.”
