A spirited environment to live, work, shop, and play

The Well is an innovative mixed-use property development in Toronto’s vibrant King West area where visitors and residents can eat, shop, work, live, and play. To introduce this multimillion-dollar endeavour to the public and generate buzz during a major media push, Forge created various marketing materials and brand assets including brochures with custom photography and vibrant layouts showcasing the properties features and the site’s exciting history.

Moving the brand forward

Expanding upon The Well’s existing brand guidelines created by Bruce Mau Design, additional standards were added by Forge, deepening the brand focus and addressing a broader range of brand application scenarios.

Engaging communities from near and far

A website was created to showcase The Well’s various offerings, and provide an in-depth look at their residences, lifestyle amenities, flexible office spaces, retail locations, and the surrounding neighbourhood. Following an initial discovery phase, wireframes were created to determine an optimal strategy in presenting content and to create a dynamic and user-friendly experience.

Fostering a culture of community within a community

Equipped with luxury amenities and stylish spaces, Liberty House is an elevated rental development that strives to provide a community-focused lifestyle for all residents. To fill a gap in the purpose-built rental space, Fitzrovia aimed to build high-quality rental units with desirable amenity packages marketed to the millennial renter. Forge worked with Fitzrovia Real Estate to define a name and develop a brand for this new property.

Resonating with the millennial renter

Seeking to evoke the community aspect of the property, the name Liberty House reflects the idea of one’s family all under one roof. The name also echoes the sense of pride and unity created by the development’s unique spaces, program offerings and amenities. Liberty House offers luxury living within reach to its residents.

Engaging the interconnectivity of people and community

The Mews is an exciting new mixed-use development located in the east end of Toronto’s downtown core, designed and developed by Fitzrovia Real Estate and Hariri Pontarini Architects. Offering more than a place to live, this development features residential, retail and outdoor spaces connected through numerous pathways. The team at Fitzrovia aimed to name, brand and position this memorable community as a trendy destination for both residents and tourists while elevating the surrounding neighbourhood of Toronto’s Queen Street East.

Merging classic with contemporary

At the outset of the project, Forge worked with Fitzrovia to understand the desired feeling of the brand, ensuring this essence translated seamlessly to the name and visual interpretation of the development’s identity. The selected name, The Mews, reflects the European-style pedestrian pathways once lined with carriage houses or stables.
