3Dwalkthroughs.com recently came across a new website/service that we find very interesting and ripe with potential. LifeAt, creates private, password protected websites for exclusive use by members of residential communities. Residents use LifeAt sites to communicate with neighbors; post classifieds; and rate and review local retailers, restaurants, & delivery services. Property managers and building developers use the sites to post news and updates for residents and to attract potential buyers and renters. The success of each site is fueled by the active participation of its membership.
Acording to the LifeAt website, the concept for the site was developed to help high profile developers service international/remote buyers by giving them a way to acclimate to their new surrounding more quickly. Understanding that potential buyers were hoping to find a community and not just an apartment in which to live, the founder racked his brain to come up with some way to foster that sense of community in a new building. That’s when inspiration hit: create a safe, online community where fellow residents can meet and help each other out as they explore their new surroundings. With that simple thought- LifeAt was born.
The LifeAt business model is growing rapidly with thousands of sites in production and international expansion in the works.
3Dwalkthroughs.com believes that the LifeAt business model could expand to include everything from remote viewing capabilities to remote climate controls. We also think the social networking component of the site can be integrated into a 3D model of each building to improve the real time interaction between tenants.
An online demo of this the LifeAt service can be found here>>
