The communities 450,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, a dynamic Central Park, 2,000 townhomes, condos, apartments and retirement residences, interconnected walkways, trails and open green spaces are all be brought to life through the generic looking 3-dimensional model. Tablets passed across the monochromatic landscapemodel, reveal each point of interest within the community offering an engagingexperience to discover the one-of-a-kind community.
A tablet interactive allows visitors to scan the environment through the device’s camera, bringing it to life through the rich content displayed on the screen through four different filters, Nature, Community, Sustainability and Retail.
