Seamlessly connected from bench press to break out room

Zenith Real Estate Partners is a nationwide real estate investment and management business. Part of their portfolio is The Apiary, a 50,000 square foot Grade A office building, in the heart of Deansgate in Manchester. Mixed use, the building houses a number of retailers on the ground floor, a Technogym in the basement, and a huge square footage of office space over five floors. The Technogym is a premium wellness and gym space, and all the machines are connected directly to the internet to allow users to access their own accounts, preferred streaming services and generally get online during workouts.

Tagline

"All our tenants are enjoying uber fast internet connection, and we've even been able to put a one gigabyte data connection into the gym, allowing it to operate at ultra high speeds. Elevate has been fantastic to work with and we'll certainly be looking to roll out a partnership with them across other buildings in our portfolio."
