Mixed-Use Community Developers
We specialize in mixed-use community PR and marketing that delivers success
Our mission at Gray Ryan Communications is Connecting Places to People.
The mixed-use development sector is highly competitive as individuals, families, and businesses become more discerning about where they live, work, and play. Mixed-use communities are inherently complex to design and develop. Equally challenging is how developers connect with a wide range of target audiences, including potential homeowners, apartment residents, commercial/retail tenants, local business, community leaders, investors, and others.
PR and Marketing for Mixed-Use Communities
Our firm’s focus on mixed use community PR and marketing uniquely positions us to understand and appreciate the opportunities and challenges that our clients face. At the end of the day, our mission is to help drive revenue for our clients.
For more than 12 years, we have specialized in PR and communications for mixed use communities and developers. We work with companies to tell their story so that they can better position their projects within their respective markets. Our work includes supporting many mixed use developers in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. We’ve been actively involved in over a dozen mixed use communities and $1+ billion redevelopment projects.
Case Studies
Spring Arbor Senior Living
The market for senior living communities – especially those with assisted living and memory care sections – remains highly competitive. Spring Arbor Senior Living was a regional senior living owner and operator with communities in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. When Foundry Commercial acquired Spring Arbor they recognized the important of proactive communications to help senior living communities maintain robust census levels and attract new residents.
Mixed Use and Retail Development
Any new development project requires vision and a healthy appetite for risk. This is especially true for developers looking to catalyze growth in underserved areas. A local developer had the dream to create a new mixed-use community that included a variety of retail, housing, and office spaces in an established and underserved community close to downtown Norfolk, VA.
Showcasing Hospitality Design
Glave and Holmes Architecture, a national-recognized architecture and design firm, wanted to grow its business in the hospitality sector. The firm had a strong team and good relationships but was looking for new opportunities to expand its reach with hotel and resort developers, owners, and operators, particularly boutique and high-end hospitality.
