Digital High-Rise Buildings in Russia Are Set to Quadruple

Experts say rising demand for security and comfort is the main driver behind growing interest in smart-home technologies.

By 2030, Russia’s market for the digitalization and smart technologies of apartment buildings could reach 440 billion rubles (about $5.3 billion), according to a forecast by Rubetek. That would be four times the 2024 level, when the market for digitally enabled new residential developments stood at 110 billion rubles (roughly $1.3 billion).

By “digital high-rises,” analysts mean the use of smart services and AI-based solutions in construction, apartment-building design, property management, and sales. The category also includes smart-home technologies such as sensors and software, security systems including video surveillance and analytics, building engineering systems, and connected consumer electronics like smart TVs and smart speakers.

“Demand for smart-home digital technologies is rising as the need for security and comfort continues to grow,” said Igor Sokolov, Rubetek’s product director. “Residents of apartment buildings want to stay connected at all times and have access to convenient digital services in different formats whenever they need them. Connected household appliances, smart speakers, lighting and climate-control devices, as well as home-monitoring services, including remote ones, are becoming an integral part of the residential environment.”

Efficiency, Control, Savings

Analysts expect demand for digital solutions and platforms in Russia’s real-estate market to keep rising. According to Sokolov, for property-management companies, integrated digital systems are a key factor in efficient service delivery, infrastructure monitoring, and the optimization of operating costs.

Earlier, the company reported on the launch of a virtual AI concierge within the Majordom ecosystem for apartment-building residents. The intelligent assistant, powered by GigaChat, helps with issuing access passes, submitting service requests, and configuring smart-home scenarios. Integration with property-management knowledge bases is expected to automate responses to common resident inquiries.

Among the most recent updates is the rollout of the Pulse UK performance-monitoring tool. The system automatically collects real-time data from the Majordom app and displays key performance indicators for property-management companies.
