Commercial Conversion Play
Retail and residential buyers run on different timelines — one framework can't serve both.
Sell
A mixed-use development: retail ground floor, residential above. Retail units stalled for eight months with no buyer movement.
The insight was that residential and commercial buyers operate on different behavioural timelines — one framework cannot serve both. Separate progression paths were created for each buyer type, and the systems were reset around them. Five of six retail units went under contract within ten weeks.
OUTCOME
Five of six retail units under contract within ten weeks of the systems reset.
