Watergate & Greystar win ‘Retrofit Project of the Year – Residential’

We are super-proud to announce that we have won Retrofit Project of the Year – Residential at the 2025 Property Week ESG Edge Awards. The award recognises our pioneering work with Greystar, a global leader in rental living and an early adopter of innovative water management technology.

This retrofit programme is delivering significant reductions in water consumption, preventing leaks before they cause damage, and helping set new ESG standards across large residential portfolios. The project showcases how data-driven water management can deliver measurable environmental and financial benefits at scale.

A partnership leading the industry

Greystar’s commitment to innovation and sustainability has been central to the success of this project. As early adopters of Watergate’s technology, they’re helping to demonstrate how smarter water management can play a critical role in decarbonisation, resident wellbeing, and operational efficiency.

Together, we are proving that water innovation can be both commercially valuable and environmentally transformative.
