3-D Visualization Solutions & Results For Clients

 

Boca Raton, FL (January 21, 2003) – In recognition that one cannot build a Commercial, Residential, Retail or Hospitality project without technology -  Aareas Interactive Inc. (Aareas) and QJJMWAV Architects (QJA) became strategic partners in March of 2002 to help their clients leverage their interactive technology to improve their clients’ business and to increase their clients’ income.

 

Aareas offers e-business solutions with a focus on real estate and leads the industry in customer service, quality, innovation, value and experience.  QJA provides comprehensive Architectural, Interior Design and 3-D Visualization services to clients in the Residential, Commercial, Hospitality and Retail industries, and thoroughly understands the trends and innovations in each designated industry. 

 

Since 1991, Aareas has helped builders and developers alike sell billions in real estate faster and more efficiently, while saving them millions in construction and sales & marketing costs by:  enhancing the buyer’s experience, boosting sales center traffic, increasing qualified leads, reducing inventory, saving time and money, and selling with fewer models.

 

“At Aareas, we don’t sell products or services – we sell solutions to problems,” said Frank Guido, President/CEO of Aareas.  “We consult with our clients and design a system that addresses their problems to achieve their goals.” 

 

Some of Aareas’ “solutions” include:  Virtual Reality, The 24/7 Sales Center, The VDC, iRenderings, HomeOptionsPro.com, Sales Center Integration, The Storybook, Custom Kiosks, Video Production, Multi-media and Digital Brochures.

 

·          Virtual Reality:  Buyers can take a virtual tour of any property or real estate development from the comfort of their own homes.  Being the world leader in Virtual Reality within the real estate industry, Aareas generates excitement and ignites buyer imagination.

 

·          The 24/7 Sales Center:  247SalesCenter.com enables builders/developers to securely access, manage and share sales, marketing, construction and décor information – anytime, anywhere.  It integrates their existing “brick & mortar” sales and décor center with the power of the Internet to create a virtual marketplace open to their buyers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 

·          The VDC:  The Virtual Design Center or VDC streamlines the décor selection process by integrating the Internet and the builder/developer’s décor center into a seamless design center.  Buyers can select colors and options for their home while seeing the changes and combinations instantly in the comfort of their own living room.

 

·          iRenderings:  iRenderings are high quality, low cost digital renderings of home exteriors.  They offer all the benefits and advantages of traditional renderings and allow buyers to change their pre-defined color options to display multiple color combinations quickly and easily.  Buyers can log on to the builder/developer’s site, choose their home and select colors interactively at their own leisure. 

 

·          HomeOptionsPro.com:  HomeOptionsPro.com is a virtual design center engine that allows building manufacturers to leverage the benefits of technology to sell and distribute their products.  Manufacturers are now able to visually display all of their building products in an easy-to-use, interactive and web-based application.

 

·          Sales Center Integration:  Aareas’ experience in integrating technology with traditional sales centers is second to none.  They work with builders/developers and their marketing teams as consultants to help them make informed decisions on displays, technology use (such as 24/7 Sales Centers) and presentations.

 

·          The Storybook:  The Storybook showcases projects.  By simply turning the pages, buyers can visualize every aspect of their new home, condo or timeshare property.  Builders/developers can take prospective buyers on a tour – using Virtual Reality, live video or a combination of both.

 

·          Custom Kiosks:  Aareas, the expert in real estate interactive kiosk development, designs and builds Custom Kiosks for all types of real estate projects.  Custom Kiosks work inside sales centers or off-site in high traffic areas.

 

·          Video Production:  Award winning Video Production is another service that Aareas provides.  Combining music and digital effects, Video Production is used to showcase the amenities of a project’s surrounding area.

 

·          Multi-media:  Aareas has experienced and talented in-house developers who can easily and aesthetically create easy-to-use interactive multi-media content.  Aareas brings ideas to life.

 

·          Digital Brochures:  A Digital Brochure (CD-ROM or DVD) used alone or in conjunction with a traditional printed brochure is a powerful way to reinforce a message with buyers.  In addition, it allows the message to be communicated in an interactive medium that is accessible at the buyer’s convenience.

 

“During the past six years, we’ve sold approximately 7,500 suites and Aareas has made a large contribution to that,” said Jim Ritchie, Vice President of Marketing at Tridel Corporation, one of the leading condo developers in Canada.  “In our industry, we mostly pre-sell and we do it without models.  Aareas is the key to our marketing program.”

 

“People are results-oriented.  They want to reduce risk, increase sales, increase profits and guarantee results,” said Quincy R. Johnson, III, AIA, President, CEO of QJJMWAV Architects.  “Our association with Aareas has increased our capacity to help our clients generate more leads, eliminate the need for physical models, and save time and money.  Results are all that count.”

 

Some of QJA’s non-traditional 3-D Visualization “results” include:  Digital 3-D Wire Frames, Computer Generated Still Renderings, Animated Flyby’s/Walk Thru’s, Interactive Video/DVD Presentations & Sales Kiosks, and Digital Land Planning/Case Studies - in addition to their more traditional Architecture and Interior Design services.
