9 West Erie Condominiums

Chicago, IL

Because of its tony downtown address, UpShift utilized “9 West Erie” as the development’s name due to Chicagoans familiarity with numbering based on the street grid. The building was a boutique yet thoroughly modern design in the River North Arts District. Therefore, a creative yet contemporary look was desired.

Emerald Condominiums

Chicago, IL

Emerald—a contemporary, 12-story twin tower condominium development in Chicago’s West Loop—offers unobstructed views of downtown mixed with eco-friendly designer environs.

UpShift employed a 1st-ever lifestyle consumer brand approach for a real estate project in Chicago to communicate eco-friendly aspects of Emerald, we used a unique shade of chartreuse green as a branding element lavished at every touchpoint. All communications feature lifestyle imagery that ooze energetic nightlife and eco-friendly appeal: large martini, sexy models and bamboo. Our work went beyond traditional graphic design to include event planning, media buy and fulfillment of early buyer perks.
