WiredScore, the global leader in rating digital connectivity and smart technology in real estate, announced its expansion into India, marking a significant milestone in its growth across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Already established in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, WiredScore's launch in India underscores its commitment to enhancing building infrastructure in the APAC market and its desire to support India’s economic growth as an attractive global hub for the world’s largest companies.
As part of the launch, the company has named leading real estate owners, developers and investors such as Brookfield Properties, Hines, DLF, DNR Group, House of Hiranandani and Prestige among the first in India to have begun pursuing building certifications from WiredScore across their portfolios.
Notably, Prestige Group has embarked on WiredScore certification for six of its newest projects including Prestige Technostar in Bengaluru, Prestige AlphaTech in Pune, and Prestige Skytech in Hyderabad. In addition, Hines and its partners DLF and DNR Group are pursuing both the WiredScore and SmartScore certifications for their properties Atrium Place in Gurugram, and DNR Altitude and DNR Uptown in Bengaluru, respectively. Similarly, Brookfield Properties and House of Hiranandani are pursuing both WiredScore and SmartScore certifications for Ecoworld in Bengaluru, and Centaurus, a commercial development in Hiranandani Estate, Thane, respectively.
These strong partnerships add to WiredScore’s international repertoire of leading landlord and developer clients, who remain dedicated to constructing and maintaining best-in-class smart buildings globally. These include British Land, Blackstone, Landsec, Boston Properties, Lendlease, Keppel, and Swire Properties.
The expansion is part of WiredScore’s broader strategy to address the growing demand for smart building infrastructure in global markets. Since its Australia launch in 2019, WiredScore has rapidly increased its influence in the APAC region, opening its regional headquarters in Singapore in March 2022. To date, the company has awarded more than 315 WiredScore and SmartScore certifications across 243 buildings in the region, representing over 101 million square feet of commercial real estate space.
As one of the first companies in India to embrace WiredScore's certification, Managing Director Development at Hines India, Monish Krishna, said, "Hines India is proud to be associated with WiredScore, emphasizing our commitment to creating future-proof and smart buildings. This commitment further reinforces our ongoing efforts to enhance our properties' technological infrastructure, ensuring they meet the highest standards of connectivity and digital capabilities.
