AMENITIES
There’s a saying about how people will forget what you’ve said and done, but they won’t forget how you made them feel. This is similar to the role of amenity spaces. No matter how a property is marketed or what the sales agent says in a walk-through, amenity spaces provide an immersive, sensory experience that can be unforgettable. DRG works to maintain the integrity of the design by delivering that final layer critical to the overall experience once envisioned by the client and design team.
OFFICE / COLLABORATION
Today’s multi-unit properties need to be outfitted for the times, including staff offices, conference rooms, work-from-home spaces, and collaborative areas. DRG is well-versed in this space as contract furnishings are an industry in themselves. Specialization in specifying, ordering, and installation for us is all in a day’s work.
MODELS
Professionally designed models play a significant role in sales by showing prospective residents a more intimate glimpse of what their daily life will be like at your property. DRG has the right vendors to meet your budgets and lead times typical for these types of FF&E packages.
OUTDOOR
An extension of your property and a big draw for prospective residents are your outdoor spaces. DRG purchases from industry-leading manufacturers across all furniture types, including outdoor pool and lounge pieces, where exposure to the elements necessitates outdoor-rated, commercial pieces that look beautiful, function accordingly, and provide a solid return on your investment.
