Successful
cities are
living cities
In order to sustain the cities of today and create better ones tomorrow, “living” needs to be at the heart of Real Estate projects again.
Urbanization and globalization push cities into accelerating development. Urban populations growing exponentially put health and comfort at the forefront of modern ideals. Smart cities build sustainably to welcome this change. However, building sustainably means more than natural resources and physical health. It also means building emotionally satisfying and intellectually stimulating environments. It involves development processes that enhance the city’s cultural identity, history and character, and that engage both its traditions and its future-focused creativity.

It is no longer enough to simply develop luxury residences and place them on the market. Each Real Estate project seeks to derive maximum value from every square metre. But they can derive even more value by seeing beyond their four walls. Sophisticated buyers want properties that enrich the communities where they reside. Envisioning every project as part of a bigger picture guarantees the creation of maximum, long-term value for direct stakeholders and for society alike.

When developing a project concept or space, we consider that the community involved is crucial to defining what will serve their needs best. The success of any idea begins with our clients’ belief in and commitment to public engagement. Bridging the gap between Real Estate and culture anchors the project in the community as a landmark ensuring strong and unique positioning.
These bridges then become marketing solutions, creating communications opportunities and driving sales. Development projects benefit from local lifestyles, while local artists and creatives participate in developing their city’s culture. Throughout this process, spaces and minds combine, creating diversification and harmony all at once in projects and communities that are both vibrant and sustainable.
DEVELOPING UNIQUE CONCEPTS WITH THE CITY’S OWN CREATIVE RESOURCES, SERVES AS A TOOL FOR INNOVATION IN REAL ESTATE, AND POSITIVE SOCIAL IMPACT WITHIN CITIES.
Creating a narrative for a place or a project requires a global vision combined with an appreciation for local culture and trends. Based on these, Marina Os. observes trends in Creative Industries and sets trends in Real Estate. We deliver unique concepts that serve to innovate the Real Estate sector by activating spaces with a city’s creative resources. Combining financial and social value, we create new business models for sustainable urban development.

We take a focused-generalist approach that contemplates and acknowledges all the wider aspects of a Real Estate project. We investigate the particular dynamics between public and private urban spaces. We unfold each project based on our international experience and create a unique and integrated strategy for each project. These strategies involve a deep social, economic, ecological and cultural analysis followed by a 360° action plan. Using this unexpected perspective, we create effective solutions with a competitive advantage.
Assuming a sense of responsibility for how cities evolve, Marina Os. connects diverse industries to create exceptional concepts that are unique thanks to each party’s differences, yet serve their shared goals and joint opportunities.
Benefits for Developers
Every Real Estate project presents a unique challenge to be economically viable while also being innovative, and socially and culturally considerate. Conscientious developers who take account of the area, city, country and world surrounding their project are building the cities of tomorrow. Their projects achieve greater return on investment due to the outstanding image and loyalty that come from “brand love”.
On one hand, embracing creativity as a marketing and PR strategy has proven to generate business directly, delivering faster sales and rentals due to a project’s prestige as a local landmark. On the other, supporting this good cause acts as a planted seed to which, when cultivated, the community responds naturally, creating a second, more organic type
of PR and marketing.
Benefits for Cities
In cities around the world, gentrification is happening so fast that development threatens to leave traditions, lifestyles and culture behind. Uniting a city’s Real Estate with its Creative Industries ensures that important facets remain intact in the process of growth. Integrating new residents while promoting the local culture maintains that which makes cities attractive. It fosters coordination and cooperation rather than competition, ensuring that local populations share in the benefits of growth and support new development.
Benefits for Communities
While developing strategies targeting certain groups, it is important to consider the effect on society as a whole. For example, thinking creatively, projects aimed at the artistic scene can become attractive to corporations, or initiatives for students can also serve the needs of the elderly, so that different sectors and populations benefit. Communication between Real Estate and Creative Industries opens that dialogue. Communities then enjoy social value-added, such as inclusiveness and diversity, which creates opportunities for new investment and fosters further development in an organic way.
