Project Guardian
A multi-year, phased initiative designed to modernize and strengthen building infrastructure across OCH properties.
By implementing advanced technology in high-needs buildings and offices, Project Guardian enhances access control, security, and surveillance systems—ensuring our communities are safer and more resilient today and into the future.
Project Scope
Spanning three phases and 35 buildings, the Project Gardian represents an investment of over $11 million, impacting approximately 13,000 tenants.
Key Impacts for Tenants
New Security Camera Systems
1,920 cameras have been installed to improve monitoring and enhance safety.
Improved Intercom Access
Intercom systems have been relocated to building exteriors, reducing unauthorized access and improving security in vestibules.
Upgraded Entry Technology
Outdated key fob systems have been replaced with streamlined, modern access control at 775 doors.
Infrastructure Modernization
Over 80,000 feet (24 km) of conduit and 485,000 feet (147 km) of cabling were installed to support these upgrades.
Why It Matters
The safety and security of our tenants is a top priority. Project Guardian not only enhances peace of mind but also enables OCH teams to better monitor building security, streamline access, and support future digital solutions. These improvements make it easier and safer for tenants to navigate their buildings while helping preserve our housing portfolio for the long term.
