Woodland Block

First Track Development / Development project

Woodland Block

A little New York. Entirely East Van.

At Nanaimo and 10th, Woodland Block brings a little New York to a neighbourhood that could only be East Van. Seventy-two townhomes and flats, local shops and places to gather form a new piece of Grandview-Woodland. Marketing leadership connected the homes, the presentation centre and the neighbourhood campaign around a simple invitation: come home to life on the block.

01 / THE CHARACTER

Made for East Van, by locals.

Grandview-Woodland has its own kind of gravity. Independent shops, familiar faces and a little irreverence give the neighbourhood a character no development could invent. Woodland Block’s story started there, borrowing the rhythm of New York brownstones without losing its Vancouver roots.

EKISTICS shaped the architecture around homes and shared spaces that bring people together. Karin Bohn of House of Bohn married classic mid-century-modern style with contemporary design to create completely unique interiors. Letterbox’s identity carried that personality into the launch: confident, playful and unmistakably Woodland Block.

03 / THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

Welcome back to East Van.

The neighbourhood was never just a backdrop. Film followed the people and places that give East Van its warmth, taking the campaign out of the showroom and into everyday life.

Julia Loglisci’s photography and Oren Darel / Good Nature Creative’s films brought that life into the campaign. Interior photography by Provoke + Yasamin Ataee revealed the warmth and personality of the display home. Across stills, film and captioned social ads, the invitation remained the same: come home to life at Woodland Block.
