Why Toronto Buildings Are Upgrading to Smart Intercom in 2025

Toronto is in the middle of a smart transformation—and if you live in a condo or manage a property, you’ve likely heard the buzz: smart intercom systems are quickly becoming the new standard in 2025.

But why now? What’s driving this shift?

At Alpha Intercom, we’ve been closely tracking this trend, and here’s what we’re seeing:

1. Demand for Contactless Access

The pandemic accelerated the need for touchless entry solutions. Residents and property managers alike want systems that reduce physical contact—especially in high-traffic buildings.

2. Short-Term Rentals & Package Deliveries

With platforms like Airbnb booming and delivery services showing no signs of slowing down, smart intercoms offer temporary access codes and remote entry—saving property managers a ton of headaches.

3. Security & Surveillance Integration

Modern systems integrate with cameras, mobile apps, and cloud storage. This gives residents peace of mind, knowing they can see and speak with visitors—even when they’re not home.

4. Toronto's Push for Smart Cities

The city is actively encouraging digital upgrades in residential and commercial infrastructure. Smart intercoms fit naturally into this vision of a more connected, efficient Toronto.

5. Rising Expectations

Today’s residents expect more than just a buzzer. They want convenience, connectivity, and control—right from their phones. Traditional intercoms just don’t cut it anymore.

At Alpha Intercom, we’re excited to cover this shift in real-time. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be spotlighting specific buildings, tech providers, and property managers leading the way in Toronto, Montréal, and Vancouver.

If you’re living in a smart building—or want to be—stay tuned. We’ve got a lot more coming your way.

Until tomorrow,
