From our CANVAS™ sessions, the best ideas are born – partnerships, offerings, programming, art and design ideas pour out of our collaboration and into the community plans. A set of vision and experience principles (VEPs) are crafted providing all our teams and partners with a roadmap and guiding idea so that when decisions are being made, they are made through the lens of the VEPs. Our end goal is that anyone entering a Crescent community can see a beautifully connected thread from design to experience that was inspired by community.

NOVEL Daybreak Salt Lake City, Utah

was created and first executed over eight years ago at our Crescent Scottsdale Quarter community in Phoenix, AZ. The idea was created to extend and share the knowledge and ideas from CANVASTM and integrate them as part of an elevated sales training process. Our teams knew that if potential residents could understand our vision and see how it came to life in the community that no other competitor, they toured would be able to complete on story and lifestyle. We are not a commodity, and they are not just a resident. We emphasize the need to discover what a resident is looking for, even if they don’t know for sure themselves. We teach teams how to cultivate a relationship with the potential resident that far exceeds floorplans and finishes – but shows them how their experience at a Crescent Community will enhance and enrich their lives through community.

Our team valued that CC took the time to come by and explain the decision-making process behind our community to the team. It was a unique experience and something that does not happen at other properties under different ownerships. It made us feel valued as team members and helped us fall in love with the community more and the purpose behind it. It was nice having full days dedicated to the training because we were able to stay fully involved in the process and were not worried about office related matters in that moment. Being in such a highly competitive area, with a lot of newbuilds where most have lower pricing that we do has been tough, but selling the idea of the community and the lifestyle has been what has helped us separate the price from the other communities. Having a theme and a purpose behind the community is a different concept to renters. Yes, they can rent something for $400 less, but the experience and customer service they get with a NOVEL property is far beyond the competitors. In general, I feel like everyone in sales should have to take a refresher class every few years and fine tune their skills. Brand camp allowed us to continue to develop our skills past what we might have already known.

My first Brand Camp experience was at Crescent Dilworth. I absolutely saw a difference in the team there who took the stories an anecdotes shared with them in detail in Brand Camp (formerly Crescent University) to help showcase to prospective residents the thoughtfulness and care that was put into every single element of the project planning, design, programming, and marketing. I then overheard resident sharing those same stories with family and friends to boast about that same thoughtful attention to detail in their home. A particular example that comes to mind is going through close to 30 different stone samples to find one that perfectly matched the existing stone bridge connecting the property to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway so we could incorporate it into our building exterior to enhance how connected our community was to the greenway amenity.”

We build community through thoughtful and authentic experiences and moments that capture the neighborhood heartbeat and keep the beat going through every amenity, home, art piece and experience.

All of our comps do not try to get to know people as people, they just ask the generic standard industry questions, so they try to sell the product based on what the prospect is looking for. But when you get to learn the hobbies, employment, and lifestyle of each prospect you open a box of information that can be useful to overcome objections. Such if someone works from home, we can use that information to highlight our micro offices or if someone has a pet, we can use that information to highlight our pet wash and our pet of the month activities! Or if someone is moving from out of the area and is looking for a community, highlight our resident events to showcase opportunities for the prospect to connect with neighbors and make new friends.

We get feedback, often, from tours that this “is the best tour that they’ve ever had” and we aren’t “pushy” or “ambiguous”. That we’re “thoughtful” and “really care” about the people here! Being able to speak to details on the property (finishes, land, colors, etc) isn’t something other communities will typically focus on, so people are generally very impressed with our knowledge of the property as a whole (we’ve quite a few tours and investors note this!) Being able to tell our NOVEL story and bring that to life, has certainly helped us standout from competition. Prospects are conditioned to be price focused and regurgitate all their information the second they walk in the door. The fact that we don’t get into the “nitty gritty” until really the end of the tour, typically softens their initial stance and they’re more comfortable and willing to flex.

Our understanding of the community and the reasoning behind many design features in the amenity spaces and units truly sets us apart. When we can clearly explain the purpose of these spaces, it fosters trust with prospects and residents, strengthening their relationship with our team. We not only grasp the community’s design but also explore the neighborhood, becoming well-informed about the submarket. This allows us to quickly address prospects’ questions about local experiences and businesses. I believe many of our competitors don’t immerse themselves in the submarket to the same extent, so having this knowledge gives us an edge in attracting prospective residents.

The Power of Art at Crescent Communities

Art has the unique ability to connect people, evoke emotions, and transform ordinary spaces into something extraordinary. At Crescent Communities, we believe deeply in the power of art, not just as a decorative element but as a vital tool in building vibrant, welcoming spaces that reflect the soul of the community. What began as a desire to beautify buildings and fill blank spaces has become a cornerstone of our philosophy, shaping the way we approach our developments and fostering a sense of connection among residents. Art at Crescent Communities is not merely about aesthetics; it’s about creating opportunities, empowering local artists, and reflecting the distinct character of the neighborhoods we serve. With our motto, “Build Community. Better People’s Lives,” at the core of our efforts, we’ve partnered with national curators and local artists to ensure that each piece we commission enhances both the physical space and the community spirit.


2024 INVESTOR SUMMIT

The incorporation of art into our communities has evolved into more than just an initiative; it has become part of Crescent Communities’ DNA.

T R A N S FO R M I N G S PAC E S A N D L I V E S

Art is in our DNA We see every blank wall, parking deck, and garage as a canvas waiting to be transformed. In all the cities we develop, we work hand in hand with local artists to create dynamic, colorful, and thought-provoking works of art that reflect the unique personality of the neighborhood. This approach does more than brighten up spaces—it invites residents and visitors to engage with their surroundings.

ROOTED

Public art is a powerful catalyst for interaction, sparking conversations and building connections among community members. It draws people in, fosters curiosity, and creates a shared sense of identity. Art makes people stop, look, and feel, and it’s this emotional engagement that turns a building into a living, breathing part of the neighborhood.

For Crescent Communities, art is a way of enhancing the daily lives of our residents. It

adds beauty to their surroundings, but more importantly, it creates a sense of belonging. When residents see art that speaks to the culture of their community, they feel more connected to where they live. Art creates spaces that people want to spend time in, that they are proud to call home, and that visitors want to explore.

Surprise and Delight Perhaps one of the most profound impacts of incorporating art into our communities is its ability to serve as a bridge between people. Art has the power to transcend differences, create dialogue, and unite individuals who might not otherwise connect. It encourages residents to engage with their neighbors and their surroundings, building stronger, more connected communities. In neighborhoods across the country, Crescent Communities is using art as a tool to build these bridges. Whether it’s a mural that celebrates the diversity of a community or an installation that prompts reflection on a shared history, art helps foster a sense of unity and belonging. It transforms spaces into gathering points, sparking interactions that strengthen the fabric of the neighborhood.

THE POWER OF AUTHENTICITY

In a world where digital media is saturated with stock imagery, generic messaging, and copy-paste campaigns, the importance of authenticity in branding cannot be overstated.

How Genuine Branding Sets Crescent Communities Apart

NOVEL Beach Park Tampa, FL

ROOTED

Consumers today crave brands that feel real—brands that connect with them on a personal level and reflect their values, lifestyle, and aspirations. At

61

Crescent Communities, we understand the true value of being genuine and authentic to our brand. This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, from our carefully crafted messaging to our refusal to rely on stock imagery. Instead, we create bespoke visual content that truly reflects the essence of living in our communities.


2024 INVESTOR SUMMIT THE POWER OF AUTHENTICITY

Today’s consumers are more informed than ever before. They can spot inauthentic marketing from a mile away. Stock imagery, while convenient, often fails to resonate because it feels distant and disconnected. Consumers know when they’re being sold an idealized version of reality versus an honest portrayal of what life in a community truly feels like. At Crescent Communities, we go the extra mile to ensure that the imagery and video content we use are authentic representations of our communities. Every photograph is captured on-site, with real people, real moments, and real experiences. Our goal is to give potential residents a true sense of what it feels like to live in one of our communities—not just an idealized version, but the real deal. This level of authenticity not only builds trust but also fosters a deeper emotional connection with our audience.

When people explore Crescent Communities, we want them to be immersed in the specific lifestyle, culture, and atmosphere that each of our locations offers. Stock images fail to capture the nuanced individuality of each community. That’s why we work closely with photographers and videographers to create content that tells a story—your story. Whether it’s a snapshot of neighbors enjoying a quiet morning coffee or kids playing in a local park, every piece of visual content reflects the unique character and charm of that community. By showing the world as it truly is, Crescent Communities helps potential residents envision their future with clarity and confidence. This level of thoughtfulness, personalization, and care is not something that can be faked or substituted. It’s what makes us different, and more importantly, it’s what makes us real.

Today’s consumers are more informed than ever before. They can spot inauthentic marketing from a mile away. Stock imagery, while convenient, often fails to resonate because it feels distant and disconnected. Consumers know when they’re being sold an idealized version of reality versus an honest portrayal of what life in a community truly feels like. At Crescent Communities, we go the extra mile to ensure that the imagery and video content we use are authentic representations of our communities. Every photograph is captured on-site, with real people, real moments, and real experiences. Our goal is to give potential residents a true sense of what it feels like to live in one of our communities—not just an idealized version, but the real deal. This level of authenticity not only builds trust but also fosters a deeper emotional connection with our audience.

NATIONAL REACH, LOCAL FOCUS Calvert Street is known as the national leader in building local support to win approvals for challenging land-use projects.

CRESCENT COMMUNITIES KNOWS NIMBYS MAKE NOISE CALVERT STREET GROUP MADE SURE PROJECT SUPPORTERS DID, TOO

YOU KNOW IT WHEN YOU SEE IT. THEY’RE HERE TO STOP THE PROJECT.

When a small, but vocal group of neighbors opposed a project in a Nashville neighborhood, Crescent Communities turned to Calvert Street Group to reach out to supporters, keep them informed and to express their support to local planners.

CALL US.

It worked. NOVEL Richland Creek is a mixed-use project on its way to becoming a reality in Nashville, TN. Calvert Street Group partnered with Crescent Communities to identify supporters and make their support known to planners. The local planning commission approved it unanimously and praised the project as well. We can get those kinds of results for you, too. We’ve helped guide over 500 projects in 46 states.
