Strategic Marketing

Tactical
Initiatives.

No stamp duty. So we go on the product and the offers. Three things no other townhome in this suburb is doing right now.

EV Charger in Every Home

Every home comes with an EV charger installed in the garage. Not pre-wired for one later — installed. Petrol isn’t getting cheaper. A lot of buyers are already in an EV or planning to be. Most new townhomes in Reservoir don’t have this. These do. It leads every ad.

EV Charger Included
Buy Before 1 June — We Automate the Whole Home
  • Purchase before 1 June 2026 — full home automation included
  • Lighting, climate and security connected and configured before settlement
  • Buyers don’t sort it out themselves — it’s done
  • Hard date. After 1 June the offer is gone
  • Headline of every ad from day one
Offer Closes 1 June 2026
Final Customisation Window
  • Buyers who purchase before 1 June choose their tiles, carpet, flooring and kitchen finishes
  • Window closes 1 June when frames go up
