Wyse has announced a partnership with FCS Development Corporation to deliver turnkey sub-metering solutions to The Quad at York – a new, pre-eminent and purpose-built student housing community on the York University Keele Campus in Toronto.
Envisioned as a major architectural statement, The Quad at York will include 812 beds in two six-storey buildings. The modern, suite-style units will offer students innovative features and amenities, all housed in an environmentally sustainable foundation. York University’s social fabric will benefit from the outdoor courtyards, generous sidewalks and tree-lined greenway. Mixed use will also include over 20,000 square feet of retail space within walking distance to the core of the campus.
The partnership with Wyse reinforces the commitment to sustainability shared by FCS Development Corporation and York University. Wyse will manage the electricity sub-metering lifecycle for The Quad at York, from hardware and installation, to reporting, billing and ongoing customer service. The full integration of Wyse’s sophisticated billing platform with property management software will allow for automatic sharing of frequent move-in and move-out data. Students will have access to an easy-to-use web portal, detailed electricity bills and a call centre that operates in 26 languages, 14 hours a day.
FCS Development Corporation is a private Canadian company created by Forum Equity Partners and Campus Suites. Forum Equity Partners is a privately owned alternative investment management and principal investment firm with a focus on infrastructure, energy and renewables, and real estate.
“Wyse’s advanced tools and services will help us provide students with a more innovative and responsive residential experience,” said Henry Morton, President of FCS Development Corporation and President of Campus Suites.
“We are immensely proud to partner with an industry leader such as FCS Development Corporation and to deliver the next level in sub-metering solutions to The Quad at York,” said Peter Mills, Co-CEO of Wyse Meter Solutions Inc.
