London Land Group partners with ABB to drive next generation home automation

London Land Group and ABB Electrification’s Smart Buildings Division have signed a key supplier agreement that lays the found­a­tion for cutting-edge home automa­tion. The collab­or­a­tion under­scores London Land Group’s commit­ment to deliv­er­ing unpar­alleled living exper­i­ences through the seamless integ­ra­tion of innov­at­ive and connected systems that will be imple­men­ted across their forth­com­ing devel­op­ments in the UK.

Under the partner­ship, residents will benefit from energy savings and next-gener­a­tion home automa­tion. With energy manage­ment tools at their finger­tips, residents will exper­i­ence the full comfort and conveni­ence of being able to access and control a full range of smart appli­ances, devices, and systems, from a single app.

The first devel­op­ment is expected to be One Westmo­re­land in Bromley, where deploy­ment of smart techno­logy using ABB’s cutting-edge home systems, such as ABB-free@home®, with Samsung SmartTh­ings is intended to extend across all 122 apart­ments. Residents will enjoy a heightened living exper­i­ence via features such as geofen­cing, allowing lights, heating, ventil­a­tion, and air condi­tion­ing (HVAC) to adjust automat­ic­ally based on their proximity.

Mario Luca Balducci, Chief Executive of London Land Group, said, “Our goal is to make One Westmo­re­land a benchmark for sustain­able, comfort­able and conveni­ent homes. Lever­aging the integ­rated ABB-Samsung solution in this devel­op­ment, our residents will exper­i­ence the benefits of modern living, controlling everything from door entry, to heating and cooling, to smart appli­ances, through a single app or touch panels.”

On signing the new agreement in the UK, Mike Mustapha, President, ABB Smart Buildings, said, “Energy efficiency is a top priority and by partner­ing with us, and benefit­ing from the inter­op­er­ab­il­ity of our systems, London Land Group can achieve this along with excep­tional user exper­i­ence and comfort. This collab­or­a­tion enables us to further realise our shared mission to improve the well-being of both residents and entire communit­ies.”

Once consented for devel­op­ment, One Westmo­re­land will consist of 122 new resid­en­tial apart­ments, compris­ing a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, and over 1,500 sqm of high-quality office and retail floor­space. It will feature on-site renewable energy sources including solar panels and air-source heat pumps to further boost energy efficiency.
