Washington DC has more real estate challenges than most markets. Some of the country’s most secure office spaces sit alongside luxury high-rises, historic buildings, and fast-growing mixed-use developments. Commercial landlords need to modernize older properties to compete with new Class A office spaces, and developers are using smart technology to improve convenience and security in multifamily buildings. Smart building infrastructures make properties more efficient, sustainable, and appealing to tenants.

We implement integrated solutions that address the specific needs of Washington DC’s real estate market. From government contracts intended to upgrade security in a K Street office or developments such as a new high-rise in NoMa with smart amenities, we engineer complete systems that streamline operations and improve daily life for tenants, property managers, and business owners.

RCG designs smart building infrastructure that ties networking, security, automation, and entertainment systems into a reliable network. Rather than bringing multiple vendors together, entrust every step to RCG—from engineering the system architecture to procuring hardware, overseeing installation, and integrating all IP endpoints. This keeps all systems working together smoothly, eliminates compatibility issues, and keeps your budget and project timeline on track.

We then remain involved by providing training and ongoing support. We promise to help clients get the most out of their technology. Our team keeps systems optimized over time and updates them as new advancements emerge so you can avoid costly overhauls in the future.

Government offices, luxury residences and other developments in DC require cutting edge security solutions. RCG designs and installs high-security systems that provide real-time monitoring, encrypted mobile access, and even biometric authentication as necessary.

Our access control systems allow property owners to manage security remotely, and we eliminate the need for physical key fobs or outdated keycard systems. IP surveillance cameras provide AI-driven monitoring capabilities, while integrated intercom systems streamline visitor management in multifamily and mixed-use properties. These systems strengthen security while allowing property owners to manage access, whether for a corporate office or a multifamily building.

RCG delivers high-performance structured cabling and network infrastructure designed to support seamless connectivity across all devices and IP endpoints. We install fiber optic cabling for high-speed data transmission in large office buildings, Category 6 and 6A Ethernet for secure enterprise networking, and coaxial cabling for integrated audiovisual systems. Low-voltage cabling supports access control, surveillance, and building automation, and we make sure every component operates as part of a unified system.

For commercial districts in Downtown DC, Capitol Hill, and Georgetown, businesses rely on enterprise-grade networking with redundant connectivity to avoid downtime. Mixed-use and residential developments in Navy Yard and Dupont Circle require secure, high-speed internet that meets the needs of modern tenants. RCG delivers tailored solutions for every type of property, designing networks that perform reliably now and remain scalable for future technology upgrades.

RCG integrates intelligent building systems that automate lighting, climate control, and occupancy-based adjustments. Our goal is to eliminate energy waste and improve cost savings. IoT-driven solutions let property owners monitor and adjust building operations in real time, thereby keeping everything efficient without constant oversight.

Our automation systems also align with green building standards, and we can facilitate smart HVAC controls, occupancy sensors, and remote-access energy management tools.

Luxury residential developments rely on smart technology to improve convenience, streamline services, and create a more connected living experience. RCG’s proprietary app, PropKey, serves as a digital concierge.

Through PropKey, tenants can manage package deliveries, request maintenance, and schedule concierge services. The app provides access to perks, amenities, and community boards, and creates a more connected and convenient living experience. The app allows for frustration-free guest entry, and mobile key access eliminates the need for physical key fobs. Car valet requests, smart device control, and real-time building activity tracking all operate within a single, intuitive interface.

Luxury residential buildings in DC neighborhoods like The Wharf, Logan Circle, and NoMa all offer such smart features to attract tech-savvy renters and buyers. PropKey allows property managers to provide high-end digital conveniences that set their buildings apart.

Managing smart building technology requires expertise in multiple disciplines. RCG handles every aspect of implementation, from engineering and hardware procurement to full-scale deployment and training. Our project managers work closely with property developers, contractors, and building owners to deliver streamlined installations without the delays and inconsistencies that come from managing multiple vendors.

We also provide in-depth training to help clients make the most of their smart building systems. Whether it’s navigating security features, troubleshooting network performance, or optimizing automation settings, our team remains a resource long after installation is complete. Washington DC’s commercial and residential properties operate in a fast-paced environment, and we make sure technology keeps up with evolving needs.

Washington DC’s real estate market is evolving, and smart buildings are leading the way. Whether you’re modernizing a historic property in Georgetown, developing a high-rise in Capitol Riverfront, or upgrading a corporate headquarters in the Golden Triangle, RCG delivers fully integrated, future-ready smart building solutions
