PREPARED EXCLUSIVELY FOR NORTHLAND LIVING CO DECEMEBER 14, 2022

The Narrative

As the center of gravity of Downtown Austin continues to shift north the once peripheral pockets of downtown are burgeoning with life and allure. The Northwest Corridor’s juxtaposition of the close proximity to the Texas State Capitol, the new Texas Capitol Corridor, University of Texas and the neighboring historical neighborhood of Judges Hill gives residents at 400 W 14th the best of both worlds. The access to green spaces is just another attribute that adds value and desirable lifestyle to living in this location. With Waterloo Park’s 11 acres & 1.5 miles of trails, The Shoal Creek Conservancy and the Moody Amphitheatre amongst beautifully curated gardens this thriving neighborhood boasts convenient access to parks and green space.

The proposed community will be the nucleus for Austin’s professional and artistic culture in the Northwest Corridor. As the unofficial Arts District in Austin the Blanton Museum of Art leads the way for artistic culture in the neighborhood. Additionally, with the number of employees and professionals servicing the Texas State Capitol, the new Downtown Courthouse (Phase I and Phase II) and UT reaching almost 10,000, there is high demand for luxury residences and the proposed food & beverage programming.

Our approach will be multipronged and range from highlighting the opportunity to own and live in one of Downtown Austin’s most desirable neighborhoods featuring the existing attributes and the many more on the horizon to the quality and sophistication of 400 W 14th Street Tower.

Anchored by the 5-story mural “Where the Wildflowers Grow” by the artist DAAS, the 301 Congress Porch is amid a massive transformation. Putting community-driven design first, this nook of Austin’s downtown is quickly becoming a place for creativity, inspiration, and activity for all.

Letter from the Partners

Tony, Kevin & Pawel,

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your team. The following is a brief overview of DEN. Collectively, the DEN team has decades of project experience in the Austin market & beyond. Over the years we have curated an all-star lineup of dedicated sales concierges with experience in condominium sales and those associated with every notable hotel brand from Four Seasons Residences, W Austin Hotel & Residences, Austin Proper Hotel & Residences as well as the Saint Cecilia Residences.

We have deep roots in Austin with authentic, local relationships to help curate the first round of buyers that is critical to the success of any project. Further, we have the additional benefit of global reach through our exclusive partnership with Leverage Global Partners.

We work with our developers to help build and promote strong brands, create narratives and deliver the most compelling sales and marketing approach specific to the project. DEN will deliver a highly effective pre-sale program coupled with a powerful, proven on-site sales system. DEN also prides itself in being in tune with the changing preferences of buyers, being plugged in with a local network of the top-tier, creative resources and having access to numerous local and international networks of discerning clientele.

We are fortunate to have been able to create and refine best practices as well as create a great legacy of successful projects. In short, our goal is to represent your best interests as well as to protect and maximize your return on investment (ROI). This approach will ultimately lead to establishing a legacy for your project, not only in today’s market but as part of Austin’s heritage.

We look forward to partnering with you and your team on this endeavor.

Our job is to represent your best interests...period.

With Gratitude, Bryan Cady, Co-Founder + Broker Will Steakley, Co–Founder Bailey Tipps, Partner Jonny Rodgers, Partner Welcome to DEN

DEN members have launched and completed dozens of multi-unit condominium projects over the past decade. We excel in generating onsite appointments through our focused online efforts; however, we thrive on the sales floor. In short, we are closers.

DEN leverages its partners’ experiences and resources to plan, execute and market premier residential properties. The team has individually marketed and sold residences from Austin to Downtown Dallas to Ft. Worth, spanning various markets in Texas.

We create and strategically use the latest modern tools from in-house website development to search engine optimization; however, our success is derived from our legacy of relationships that start with a handshake and continue beyond the transaction.

The majority of home buyers use the Internet to begin their home search. Accordingly our primary advertising focus will be online; however online traffic alone does not lead to sales success. The goal of our online advertising efforts is to generate appointments. If qualified, our appointment–to–contract conversion ratio is unparalleled. In other words, we excel at converting online leads into closed transactions. See Full-Spectrum Approach.

To maximize sales velocity to capture the highest return on your investment through our collaborative & thoughtful sales & marketing approach.
OUR GOAL

For approximately a decade, the DEN Developer Division team has been putting clients first and exceeding expectations. Our design, sales and marketing teams collaborate to deliver expert support for every development from pre-construction until well beyond the final sale. Through our comprehensive process, we help builders and developers build powerful, recognizable and successful brands to create a sense of place.

We are a dynamic team with a combination of experience, knowledge, passion for service, and an entrepreneurial spirit. In short, we are master storytellers that specialize in creating and driving powerful narratives that deliver the exceptional and leverage our strategic networks to maximize every opportunity for our clients.

We work with clients to develop turnkey strategies from start to finish – compiling the latest market intelligence from our day-to-day experience with buyers and sellers, translating it into actionable knowledge and using these insights to develop a

strategic plan. Our coordinated efforts go beyond basic residential sales as we work closely with the decision makers to stay abreast of changing market conditions and demands in order to achieve rapid and successful sales.

It is our continued commitment to offering the highest level of service to our developer partners. In doing so, we have a track record of achieving maximum profits while creating vibrant communities that deliver exceptional value.

DEN has comprehensive expertise in the multifamily and mixed-use space. The condominium buyer and single-family home buyer are two very different demographics. Our in-depth knowledge of the common ownership product, construction methodology and design elements as well as our unique sales and marketing systems cannot be easily taught or replicated.

We foster relationships through recognition of the human element, handling objections and fears and by creating enduring client relationships.

Full-Spectrum Approach

From upfront brand development, floor plan analysis, design & programming and marketing campaign creation through pre-sales, on- site sales and closing, we provide guidance. We collaborate in all aspects of the sales and marketing process from branding, marketing budgets to fully-integrated marketing programs. The DEN team knows how to manage the most discerning customers from initial contact through move-in as well as legacy events beyond closing. We know what motivates buyers and their key criteria. DEN will leverage this experience and knowledge as your full-service sales & marketing partner.

Less Risk

We know the process, so there is no learning curve. We have defined and redefined processes of multi-unit sales with proven results. To achieve the necessary momentum required for pre-sales there is no margin for error. Your ROI will be protected.
