Introduction and Partnership Announcement
Savant, a global leader in smart home and energy solutions, announced on July 20, 2026 a strategic partnership with U.S. Development to furnish two newly completed ultra‑luxury oceanfront projects with integrated smart‑living technology. The collaboration targets the Salato Pompano Beach condominium in South Florida and the Viceroy Residences Clearwater Beach on Tampa Bay’s Gulf Coast. By embedding Savant’s award‑winning app‑controlled ecosystem into these developments, the companies aim to deliver a seamless blend of comfort, entertainment, convenience, and connectivity that meets the expectations of discerning luxury buyers.
Salato Pompano Beach Overview
Located at 305 Briny Avenue in Pompano Beach, the Salato comprises 40 residences ranging from 2,106 to 3,354 square feet, each boasting expansive outdoor terraces. Prices for the limited units still available span $2 million to $5.25 million. The building’s architecture, crafted by Randall Stofft Architects, and interiors designed by the acclaimed Interiors by Steven G., set a new benchmark for boutique coastal living along one of South Florida’s fastest‑evolving shorelines. Model residences are fully furnished and open for tours, allowing prospective buyers to experience the finished product before purchase.
Viceroy Clearwater Beach Overview
Viceroy marks Tampa Bay’s first new luxury beachfront offering in over two decades, featuring 86 sleek contemporary residences and more than 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. Developed jointly by Randall Stofft Architects and Interiors by Steven G., the project delivers resort‑style, fully serviced beach living with world‑class hospitality‑inspired services. Its limited scale and premium positioning address a long‑standing gap in the Gulf Coast market, offering buyers an exclusive blend of privacy, luxury, and convenient beachfront access.
Savant Dual‑Purpose Keypad Host and AI Home Assistant
At the heart of each residence’s smart‑home system lies Savant’s innovative dual‑purpose keypad host—a discreet in‑wall device that functions both as a light switch and as a central hub. This two‑button controller can manage up to 200 lighting and shade loads, stream Savant Music across six audio/video zones, and integrate whole‑home systems such as security cameras, door locks, climate controls, and energy management. Embedded within the same hardware is Savant’s conversational AI home assistant, powered by an advanced large language model (LLM) and accessible via the Savant API. The assistant understands and responds in 48+ languages, enabling homeowners to control, discover, and personalize every aspect of their environment through natural voice or touch interaction.
Standard Technology Package Components
Every Salato and Viceroy unit receives a baseline technology suite designed for immediate, high‑end functionality. This includes Savant in‑wall OLED touch screens for whole‑home navigation, access to Savant Music with three rooms of premium Harman/JBL in‑ceiling speakers, and GE Proseo motorized deluxe shades installed in three bedrooms and the living room. Intelligent lighting control from GE Proseo extends throughout all rooms, while smart door‑lock control enhances security and convenience. Robust connectivity is ensured by Wi‑Fi access points and a network switch, and each home receives two 55‑inch state‑of‑the‑art televisions paired with easy‑to‑use Savant remotes.
Luxury Upgrade Options and Customization
Beyond the standard offering, homeowners may select from a curated menu of premium Savant upgrades to further tailor their living spaces. Options range from motorized drapery systems and premium shade fabrics to outdoor entertainment packages that extend audiovisual experiences to terraces and pool areas. Additional enhancements include a Savant smart oven, extra touch panels for localized control, and GE Proseo tunable lighting fixtures that allow adjustment of color temperature and brightness. Ceiling‑fan control can also be integrated, providing a holistic approach to comfort and ambiance that aligns with the residences’ contemporary aesthetic.
Energy Management and HVAC Integration via Savant App
The Savant app serves as the central command center for energy‑efficient operation, linking directly to each unit’s ultra‑quiet Daikin FIT smart HVAC system. Homeowners can monitor real‑time energy consumption, set schedules, adjust operation modes, and fine‑tune set‑point temperatures from anywhere—whether lounging on the sofa or away on travel. By leveraging the app’s eco‑mode feature during peak‑pricing periods, residents can minimize energy usage and avoid surge pricing costs, all while maintaining optimal indoor comfort. The integration of inverter technology with Savant’s intelligent controls ensures reliable performance and a clean, elegant aesthetic that complements the modern design of the homes.
Resort‑Style Amenities and Lifestyle Offerings
Salato’s amenity program rivals that of a five‑star resort, highlighted by an 80‑foot ocean‑view pool and spa with a separate wet deck, loungers, poolside grilling stations, a covered bar and loggia, and wellness facilities featuring dual dry saunas and steam showers. A state‑of‑the‑art fitness center with wellness programming, an owners’ lounge, a club room equipped with a chef’s catering kitchen, and 28 hobby rooms for private work or creative pursuits complete the offering. Viceroy mirrors this luxury lifestyle with over 25,000 square feet of amenities, including a beachfront pool, cabanas, fitness and wellness centers, private dining spaces, and concierge‑style services that deliver a resort experience without leaving the property.
