Native Communities

Our approach to digital is grounded in one core truth: The right info, at the right time, for the right reason. Whether it’s building trust for a fledgling brand, through pre-launch campaigns, crafting frictionless lead journeys, or delivering community-driven content that reflects real life in our buildings - digital only works when it’s human. From hyper-local insights to cross-channel optimisation, we know how to cut through the noise and drive quality enquiries that convert into leases. Want to learn how we’re rethinking lease-up and stabilisation in 2025? Chat to Rich Higham for more. 

Last night, we celebrated the launch of Gramercy Tower in Cardiff with our clients Catella APAM and partners. Gramercy Tower offers 188 units over 28 floors with panoramic views of Cardiff Bay and beyond from the roof terrace, made all the better by the beautiful weather. The event was catered by local Neighbourhood Hero, Griff's Deli, and the event allowed us to make the most of the exclusive amenities which our residents will enjoy, which include roof terraces, a gym, coworking space, private dining room, media room and lounge. This is only the beginning for what is sure to be a thriving community right in the heart of Cardiff!
