Globe is calling on property developers to factor connectivity into the very first design stages of new projects, rather than working out network needs once construction is underway. Planning ahead avoids costly retrofits and redesigns, while ensuring homes, commercial spaces, and estates are fully digital-ready the moment people move in.
The company gathered some 150 participants—including over 100 property sector partners—at Collaboration Forum 2026, themed “Design Today. Connect Tomorrow.” The event brought together developers, architects, and technical teams to embed connectivity into core project planning. “The earlier we bring those perspectives together, the better we can plan for what comes next. While plans are still being shaped, let us determine what needs to be built in from the start, with flexibility to evolve,” said Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz.
Once designs are locked in or building begins, connectivity work becomes far harder and more expensive. Early collaboration lets stakeholders identify constraints and lock in necessary infrastructure upfront. Globe also backs the government’s ongoing review of the National Building Code, pushing for telecommunications infrastructure—including fiber-ready facilities—to be classified as an essential utility and built into official standards.
With connectivity now central to daily life and business, understanding how a development will be used lets network needs go straight into masterplans, leaving room for future technologies and growing digital demand. Globe stands ready as a strategic partner to the property sector, ensuring reliable connectivity is part of every development blueprint—delivering seamless access from day one, for communities built to last.
