No. 21 January 2019 Read Newsletter
THE POWER OF ART “ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE, BUT WHAT YOU MAKE OTHERS SEE.” EDGAR DEGAS Art in all forms is a key ingredient to ZOM Living’s approach to real estate development. Innovative design of the physical spaces within our projects is essential, but it is color, texture, furnishings, and art that complete the design equation and stir the emotions of our residents. We constantly stretch our developers, designers, and consultants during the design process, while giving them creative freedom to surprise and inspire. The benefits are enormous. Surveys by ZRS, our management affiliate, indicate that upon arrival at our projects, two thirds of our future residents have already decided to live there, even before engaging with the leasing team to tour the property. This emotional connection often translates into higher rents. Our project rents and resident retention levels often exceed those of our competitors. Higher rents translate into higher project values, and this has led to a number of record-setting sales. Our projects consistently garner industry recognition as well, with over 170 awards accumulated through the years, including several national Project of the Year honors. Finally, our projects make a lasting contribution to the cultural fabric of the neighborhoods where our residents live and work. We invite you to visit the Gallery section of our website to see examples of the inspired art that add a unique and powerful dimension to the ZOM Living experience. As we enter 2019, ZOM’s business continues to flourish. Muze at Met and Maizon Brickell will debut in Downtown Miami, Azola in West Palm Beach, and Kinstead will open in North Dallas. -
