Rhapsody Property Management Services is the premier multifamily property management firm in Canada focused on purpose-built luxury apartment communities. Headquartered in Toronto, the company was formed to satisfy a growing need for sophisticated third-party management and to provide a level of service not previously offered in the Canadian market.

Its Central Parc property, located in Laval, Quebec, is comprised of six buildings and a community center. Residents have the option of 1, 2- or 3-bedroom suites. The amenities in this unique rental lifestyle include a bike repair station, rooftop infinity pool, pet washing station and more.

Central Parc’s access solutions needed to offer both security and convenience.

“When it comes to access control, our residents are mostly focused on ease of use and security,” said Rob Martin, senior vice president. “We wanted to provide one-key access for residents through an integrated system that is easily maintained and reliable.”

dormakaba’s Saffire LX Series locking solution was selected for Central Parc.

“The Saffire system provides several benefits,” said Martin. “We appreciate the ease of use, integration and dormakaba’s customer service. Its quality surpasses all of its peers. As with any new luxury product in the market, details are important and the Saffire system allows us to have an elegant and functional aesthetic in a curated living experience.”

Versatile Technology Combines Convenience with Enhanced Security

The Saffire LX-D features sophisticated RFID technology in a contemporary design. Easy-to-use, flexible and secure, the Saffire LX-D Series enhances access control convenience for residents and improves operational efficiency for property managers.

“Saffire was designed specifically for multihousing properties and can be retrofitted into any environment,” said Thomas Bowles, dormakaba’s global multihousing leader. “It combines high performance with aesthetics for a seamless look throughout the property, regardless of door function or architectural requirements.”

Available in a suite of versatile models, Saffire harmonizes with progressive building technology and amenities including the option of issuing mobile, fob, wristband or keycard credentials. The Saffire key advantages include:

• Enables mobile access that allows residents to use their smart devices to securely enter their residence, as well as perimeter, elevator, parking and other common areas
• Available with elegant fascia colors, finishes and lever selections, making it versatile to complement any decor
• Meets UL 10C and ULC S-104 on fire door rated up to and including 3 hours
• Comes standard with no touring for increased efficiency
• Lowers maintenance as the lock operates with a completely sealed, contactless reader, and batteries last up to 2 years under normal operation
• Works as a completely scalable solution with panic bars, parking gates, and electronic access
• Integrates with market-leading property management providers for smart apartment solutions

The Saffire LX-D is managed by dormakaba Community™ access management software. Community provides property management staff an intuitive access management software to easily manage access of residences, amenities, common areas and perimeters from a single platform. It also gives the convenience of both RFID credentials and BLE mobile access keys for a seamless experience with no need for additional software.
