It transforms your building into a next-generation digital infrastructure platform. inBuilding deploys a high-capacity fiber backbone that delivers enterprise-grade connectivity to every tenant at dramatically lower cost — while enabling AI companies to run GPU clusters inside their office space. The result is a building that attracts a broader and higher-value range of tenants in a market where office vacancy rates run 20–35%.

Very little. inBuilding designs, installs, and operates the entire infrastructure layer. You provide access to the building for installation and space in the main data room for core switching equipment. Once deployed, inBuilding manages everything — you benefit from the designation and the tenant demand it creates.

No. The inBuilding fiber fabric is a separate, dedicated infrastructure layer. Tenants who have existing carrier relationships can keep them. AI Office Ready connectivity is offered as an additional — and significantly more cost-effective — option. In practice, most tenants switch once they see the pricing comparison.

Buildings with high-capacity fiber and AI-ready infrastructure command meaningful rent premiums: 3–10% with 100 Gb fiber, 10–20% with full AI infrastructure deployment, and 15–25%+ for elite AI infrastructure designations. In a market where office vacancy sits at 20–35% across major U.S. cities, AI-focused buildings are running 85–98% occupancy.

Both. Existing buildings can be retrofit with the inBuilding fiber fabric and switching infrastructure — the installation process is designed to minimize disruption to existing tenants. New construction projects benefit from incorporating the infrastructure design during build-out.

The simplest explanation: this building has infrastructure that most buildings don't. AI companies can run GPU clusters here. Every tenant gets dedicated high-speed internet at a fraction of what carriers charge. For tech companies and data-intensive businesses, it's a genuine differentiator — not just a marketing claim.

Two distinct categories benefit from AI Office Ready buildings:

• AI / HPC tenants — AI startups, robotics companies, biotech AI firms, simulation companies, autonomous vehicle developers, and research labs.
• All tenants — any business that values high-speed reliable connectivity at dramatically lower cost: tech startups, fintech firms, SaaS businesses, digital agencies, and general office tenants frustrated by carrier pricing.

inBuilding's pricing is set by inBuilding — not by individual carriers — and is structured to remain dramatically below carrier-direct rates. The cost advantage is structural: aggregating high-capacity upstream bandwidth and distributing it efficiently across tenants. This is not a promotional rate.

Yes. inBuilding provides brokers and building owners with AI Office Ready marketing assets, including the designation mark, key metrics, and tenant benefit summaries. Contact inBuilding for the broker resource kit.

Yes — that is precisely what AI Office Ready infrastructure is designed to enable. The inBuilding switching fabric supports lossless GPU-to-GPU communication using PFC, ECN, and DCQCN — the same protocols used in purpose-built data centers. Combined with high-capacity dark fiber, an AI Office Ready building provides the network infrastructure required for multi-rack GPU deployments and distributed training.

AI Office Ready solves the key limitation of co-location: distance from your engineering team.

• Co-location: high performance, but remote — your team is separated from the hardware.
• Standard office: your team is on-site, but the network can't support AI workloads.
• AI Office Ready: data-center-class infrastructure where your team already works.

Dedicated 10 Gb at under $3,000/month, 100 Gb at under $9,000/month, and for larger deployments, multiple 100 Gb circuits can be provisioned. These are dedicated circuits — not shared, not throttled.

For standard AI workloads, the inBuilding fabric handles core switching and connectivity. For tenants deploying multi-rack GPU clusters, top-of-rack switches and GPU server networking are tenant-provided — inBuilding connects these into the building fabric. The inBuilding team works with AI tenants during onboarding to ensure correct configuration for their specific workload requirements.

Absolutely. The same infrastructure that enables AI workloads delivers dramatically lower-cost dedicated connectivity to every tenant. A 1 Gb dedicated connection — which runs $800–$1,200/month from major carriers — is available through inBuilding for under $400/month. That's a real, immediate financial benefit for any business that relies on internet connectivity.

A shared connection means your bandwidth is split among all users in the building — during peak hours, speeds drop. A dedicated connection means the bandwidth is yours alone: guaranteed, consistent, and not affected by what other tenants are doing. AI Office Ready buildings provide dedicated connections to every tenant at every tier.

Because inBuilding owns and operates the fiber fabric throughout the building, provisioning is measured in days — not the weeks or months typically required for a carrier to install a new circuit.

Yes. Tenants can upgrade from 1 Gb to multiple 100 Gb without requiring a new carrier installation or infrastructure changes. The fabric is already in place — upgrading is simply a provisioning change.
