Woodbridge Northwest / Northwest Yorkson

Walden

Forty-five homes. One month.

Walden was a small collection with a substantial response: more than 1,100 registrations before launch. The work brought a boutique parkside identity, a coordinated campaign and an on-site sales experience together for Woodbridge Northwest.

01 / THE LAUNCH

Build the audience. Then open the doors.

With only 45 homes to introduce, the campaign had to create both recognition and a reason to act. Search, social, print and site signage worked to a shared opening sequence; advance packages, personal follow-up and private previews gave that interest somewhere to go.

The timing mattered. Realtor previews and early sales preceded the public opening, while final pricing was held until a competing launch could be assessed. Demand, competitive intelligence and the release plan informed the same set of decisions.

02 / THE ON-SITE EXPERIENCE

The confidence to choose.

Two double-wide trailers housed the introduction to Walden: a community model, interactive touchscreens and finish selections, followed by a furnished display home. The campaign’s “Classic by design” identity carried from the dimensional exterior sign to the smallest details inside.

03 / THE DISPLAY HOME

Classic by design.

The identity’s balance of tradition and modernity continued inside. Theresa Yoon / I.D. Lab brought contemporary interiors to the Craftsman-inspired homes, with three- and four-bedroom layouts presented through a fully furnished display home.

THE RESULT

45 homes.
Sold out in 32 days.

1,100+ registrations before launch.

Sales opened May 13, 2017. All 45 homes were sold by June 14.
