“The Nuveen-HqO technology partnership represents a state-of-the-art approach to commercial real estate,” said Chase Garbarino, CEO of HqO. “By offering a tenant app with a wide array of seamlessly integrated partners, we can provide a detailed data dashboard for unprecedented customer insights and more.”
The partnership facilitates a direct line of communication with recently dispersed building tenants, enabling Nuveen Real Estate to share critical building communications and COVID-19 related building protocols, as well as collect real-time feedback from tenants. Providing experiences that bridge the divide between the physical and digital office is a part of Nuveen Real Estate’s broader omnichannel office strategy.
“One of our key priorities going into 2020 was implementing the new set of technology tools available today to the benefit of our tenants,” said Chad Phillips, Managing Director and Head of U.S. Office at Nuveen Real Estate. “Our focus on digitization has remained steadfast and has proved even more necessary throughout this tumultuous year. Our work with HqO is a critical part of being able to provide a consistent, user-friendly experience to our tenants while building out more integrated features and functionality on the backend.”
Live offerings include reservations for conference rooms and fitness facilities, building information and procedures in response to COVID-19, virtual donation drives and classes, as well as transit and work from home resources. Meanwhile, HqO and Nuveen Real Estate are working together on integrations for visitor management, mobile access, and work orders, amongst others. This holiday season, the two companies will refocus on local retailers and restaurants, marketing those businesses within the app and setting up mobile order ahead for pick up. Moving forward, the partnership will continue to automate Nuveen Real Estate’s office portfolio while innovating and enhancing both digital and in-person tenant experiences.
