CHALLENGE

management.

A strategic re-launch positioned the precinct as Africa's
inaugural green city, achieved through strategic
partnerships with the Green Building Council and the
Clinton Foundation. This alliance instilled confidence in
the development, establishing robust leadership
credentials for the developer team.
SOLUTION
Communication campaigns centred on showcasing the
precinct's innovative design features, aiming to attract
individuals keen on residing, shopping, and working
within a green-centric environment. Targeted B2B
campaigns highlighted the value proposition,
emphasising the rationale behind the price premium in
terms of sustainability and long-term savings.

The culmination of these campaigns elevated Menlyn Maine into an iconic green destination, resulting in the signing of anchor tenants valued at approximately R1 billion.
