Case study — Lakeside Pointe

Renderings so true to the build they drove traffic to the community.

01 — Hear it from them
I’ve been doing this for a lot of years, and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen renderings that look true to what we actually built.

03 — The client

Lakeside Pointe, a Beechwood Carolinas property, needed to sell a neighborhood that hadn’t been built yet. In the development team’s long experience, renderings never quite matched what actually got built — which makes them a hard thing to market with.

The challenge
Selling a neighborhood that hadn’t been built
A long history of renderings that overpromised and under-delivered
Driving traffic to a community with nothing finished to photograph
Carrying the same look through to the real events once it opened
The approach

Photorealistic 3D renderings and animation built off the actual construction documents — accurate enough that the finished build looks like the render, not a flattering version of it. We stayed on through the build: groundbreakings, a model walkthrough, and the clubhouse grand opening.
