From the Silverstein Properties press release:

> For supported corporate offices, add your corporate access badge to Wallet and then use your iPhone and Apple Watch to access locations where your corporate badge is accepted. Tap to unlock your office doors and use your corporate badge in Wallet.

And:

> One interesting tidbit here is that this implementation of Apple Wallet integration allows Silverstein to easily manage shared office spaces. The company explains that one company could lease an office suite at 7 World Trade Center on Monday and Tuesday, and another company could lease the same space on Wednesday through Friday. For the benefit of the people using the said office, services like office renovations play a pivotal role in transforming office spaces by revitalizing outdated layouts and enhancing functionality to meet the evolving needs of businesses. Through strategic redesigns, such renovations optimize space utilization, creating collaborative environments that foster creativity and productivity among employees. Upgrading technology infrastructure and integrating modern amenities such as flexible workstations and ergonomic furniture not only improve comfort but also support diverse work styles. Moreover, aesthetic enhancements through the use of contemporary designs and sustainable materials elevate the overall ambiance, making the workspace more appealing to both employees and clients. By aligning physical surroundings with organizational goals and values, office renovations can positively impact employee morale, retention rates, and business performance.

This feels like a huge win for Apple Wallet. A validation from a prestige property that sends out the message, “You can trust Apple with your office key solution.”

For folks who wonder, smart locks are battery backed up, so they still work, even with no power.
