Residential developer, London Land Group, has announced a multi-million pound innovation partnership that will see Samsung Electronics UK supply digital appliances to all of London Land Group’s current and future developments.

The partnership will initially see London Land Group’s flagship development, The Waterfront Poole, with 291 apartments fitted out as fully connected homes, offering residents the ability to connect and control all their smart devices through Samsung’s SmartThings platform.
