Operation: Retrofit Refresh Launches $20,000 Access Control Overhaul Sweepstakes for Multifamily Owners and Operators

Nov 03, 2025

Today’s multifamily property owners and operators face mounting challenges: competing with new Class A builds, rising operating costs, capital constraints, compliance risks, and staff burnout. To recognize the dedication of these multifamily property owners and help existing properties reimagine what’s possible, Allegion is launching Operation: Retrofit Refresh Sweepstakes that offers one lucky multifamily property a $20,000 access control overhaul—a turnkey upgrade designed to ease operations, delight residents, and almost-instantly boost NOI.

“Every empty unit is lost rent and lost momentum,” said Laura Lindner, multifamily marketing manager at Allegion. “This campaign is about showing multifamily property owners that even small, strategic retrofits—like modern access control—can deliver big returns in occupancy, resident satisfaction, and operational efficiency.”

Why Access Control, Why Now?

Mobile access control is no longer a luxury—it’s a leasing differentiator. Recent surveys show:

6 in 10 renters would likely choose a property that offers mobile access control.

Over half would pay 1–10% more for property technology, and nearly 3 in 10 would pay at least 11% more.

Lease conversions increase by 86% when prospects use self-guided tours, enabled by smart access solutions.

For owners squeezed by rising costs and competitive pressures, these upgrades aren’t just amenities—they’re revenue drivers and retention tools.
