The fully connected smart apartment platform for modern multifamily properties
Sphere’s Digital Native Apartment (DNA) platform transforms multifamily residential properties into fully connected smart living environments – keyless entry, automated climate, smart lighting, and integrated tenant apps – built on the Matter standard for universal device compatibility and interoperability.

Why This Matters Now
Multifamily property operators face a technology paradox: residents increasingly demand smart home features, but deploying proprietary smart home systems is expensive, creates vendor lock-in, and becomes obsolete faster than the buildings they’re installed in. 70% of PropTech smart apartment deployments fail to scale because of device fragmentation and maintenance complexity.
1. Device Fragmentation Creates Maintenance Nightmares
Properties with mixed smart home ecosystems (Apple, Google, Amazon, proprietary) require different apps, different protocols, and different support systems for each – multiplying maintenance costs and resident frustration.
2. Proprietary Platforms Create Lock-In
Smart apartment platforms that require proprietary hardware lock operators into a single vendor indefinitely – with no competitive pricing pressure and no easy exit strategy.
3. High Installation Costs Kill ROI
Traditional smart apartment deployments cost $2,000–$5,000 per unit in hardware and installation – making it difficult to achieve ROI at typical rental premium levels.
What Sphere Delivers
Sphere’s DNA platform is built entirely on the Matter standard – the universal smart home protocol – ensuring that any Matter-certified device from any manufacturer works seamlessly with the platform. This eliminates vendor lock-in, enables competitive hardware procurement, and ensures long-term compatibility as new Matter devices come to market.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere’s DNA platform is built for multifamily and residential operators who want one smart living environment across access, climate, security, and resident experience without getting trapped in a single hardware ecosystem. The stack combines Matter-native device interoperability, AWS-based cloud services, mobile and web applications, legacy bridge support, and property-system integrations so owners and operators can scale connected apartments on a flexible long-term foundation.
Who This Is For
INDUSTRY
VERTICAL APPLICATION
Request a DNA Platform Pilot Proposal
Sphere will propose a pilot deployment for one of your properties – including hardware specification, cost per unit, expected rental premium, and 5-year ROI model – within 5 business days.
How It Works
Property Assessment
Sphere assesses existing infrastructure, identifies installation approach, and specifies hardware for each unit type.
Pilot Building
Deploy full DNA platform in 1 pilot building. Validate resident experience, management workflows, and integration with PMS.
App & Console Launch
Deploy white-labeled resident app and property management console. Train property management staff.
Rollout & Support
ystematically deploy across portfolio using lessons learned from pilot. Sphere provides project management and installation coordination.
ROI & Bussines Impact
Properties on the DNA platform command an average rental premium of 12–18% for smart apartment units. Combined with 35–50% energy cost reductions in common areas and units, and 40% lower maintenance costs from predictive issue detection, most operators achieve full ROI within 18 months.
For a 200-unit building, typical annual net benefit exceeds $280K.

Hear From Our Clients
Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).
I would expect to be delighted. It’s been a really positive experience, working with Sphere, and I would expect you to have the same.
Sphere consistently prioritizes the needs of their clients, demonstrating both agility and teamwork. They bring innovative and well-considered solutions, consistently surpassing my expectations.
Sphere provided excellent full-stack development manpower to augment our team and work with us.
We've been working with Sphere and its excellent consultants since our founding. Their combination of offshore talent, pricing, and shift offsetting is hard to beat. They provide crucial augmentation to our in-house team. We simply couldn't achieve our production ambitions without their service.
The resources and developers that Sphere Software provides are skilled and have the required technical expertise to complete their tasks successfully, with the team easily scaled in either direction. The deliverables are always high-quality.
With Sphere, we were able to migrate in half the time it would take to train an additional FTE…
These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system. We augmented our development team capabilities using Sphere’s developer, who works very well with our Dev Lead in Chicago. Sphere’s developer was an expert in the new system, and continues to be an expert as we evolve it.
