Would you trust facial authentication technology to secure your own residential building?
Residents at the Paramount Miami Worldcenter are now entering the building through a new facial authentication and mobile credential platform. The building board implemented the technology to address security concerns linked to the previous fob-based system.
Why it matters
The upgrade replaces an outdated 125kHz fob system that allowed for shared, lost, or duplicated keys. The board mandated the switch to better enforce leasing rules and verify exactly who is entering the residential areas of the tower.
The building transitioned from a legacy 125kHz fob system to a new biometric identity verification platform. The exact number of fobs replaced was not disclosed, and the board is still evaluating future security enhancements.
The players
Paramount Miami Worldcenter
The downtown luxury residential tower that installed the new biometric security platform.
IT Works Network Group
The systems integrator that collaborated with the building board to deploy the platform.
The details
The board partnered with IT Works Network Group to install Suprema biometric readers at ground-level entrances and residential elevators. Residents are now required to use facial authentication to access their floors, while amenity areas are controlled by Bluetooth mobile credentials. Management is currently planning to expand facial authentication across other parts of the building.
Timeline
October 1, 2026, marks the publication of the system installation details.
Beyond the 305
This transition follows the broader trend of high-end residential towers across Miami-Dade replacing physical key fobs with biometric security. The move represents a departure from traditional entry methods toward identity-verified access control.
Residents of the tower now need their mobile devices or their face registered to access residential floors and amenities. If you live or visit in the Worldcenter area, expect building access to become strictly digital as management continues to audit entrance protocols.
The takeaway
The move to biometric entry marks the end of physical fob usage at the tower. Residents should monitor building communications for the timeline on when facial authentication will be required in additional amenity areas.
