The Challenge

In the competitive real estate landscape of West Coquitlam, with neighboring projects vying for attention, our challenge was to position Alina as a standout development despite being one of three projects in close proximity. Additionally, we needed to navigate the complexities of differentiating each tower while maintaining a cohesive brand identity to leverage positive momentum across the series. 

The Challenge

The Approach

Our primary approach revolved around maintaining legal and marketing separation between the three towers while strategically positioning them as part of a series. This dual focus allowed for flexibility, risk mitigation, and efficiency in marketing assets, ensuring each tower capitalized on the success of its predecessors.

To support our approach, we collaborated closely with project stakeholders to design a cost-efficient yet highly desirable development tailored to the marketplace. This involved meticulous attention to detail in floor plans, amenity programming, and marketing positioning, ultimately giving Alina a significant competitive advantage.

The results of our efforts spoke volumes. At the time of the marketing and sales campaign for Alina, not only was it up against a competitive marketplace in West Coquitlam, but it competed with a wide geography including projects in Metrotown, Brentwood, and even Surrey City Centre. However, Alina not only met but exceeded its revenue targets, quickly surpassing its presale goals by selling over 85% of units within just 90 days.  

Following the sales launch success, the Presentation Centre was shut down for a short period of time and refreshed for the release of the second tower named Komo, achieving unprecedented sales results in the marketplace, setting a new standard for absorptions and revenues.
