What District Technologies does

District Technologies is a London-based PropTech company founded in 2017 that operates a SaaS tenant experience platform connecting occupants to buildings and surrounding amenities via mobile applications. The platform provides a digital layer for commercial real estate, coworking, coliving, smart buildings, and corporate workplaces, offering features such as amenity and meeting room booking, internal communications, push notifications, virtual events, wellness programming, contactless building access, health check-ins, desk booking with heatmapping, and a white-label option for full brand customization. Underlying technology is proprietary, including an in-house analytics dashboard and published open APIs that integrate with third-party hardware, property management (AppFolio, Arthur), payment (Stripe), identity/access (HiD), communications (Slack, Yammer), and analytics (Google Analytics, Squarespace) providers.

The company generates revenue through a subscription model combining a one-time Building Fee on contract signature and an annual Software Services Fee subject to CPI-linked escalators, with a 25% Break Fee on early termination. Pricing is tiered: Basic packages start from £200 per month, while Premium packages, plug-and-play deployments, fully white-labelled deployments, and add-ons (Content Package, Customer Success) are priced by enquiry. The go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales targeting commercial real estate landlords, property managers, coworking operators, and corporate enterprises, with named customers including Blackstone, Cushman & Wakefield, LaSalle, JP Morgan Assets, Investec, WPP, and Merlin Properties. Operations span the United Kingdom, Portugal, and the United States, with offices in London (headquarters), Ebbw Vale, Lisbon, and Brooklyn. The company is GDPR-compliant and registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
