        Imagine a Pop-up Real Estate Sales Center

        PJR Design unveils a new alternative to traditional Sales Centers.  Using the "Pop-up" Sales Center concept, 

        you only need to account for flooring, painting and lighting, which reduces your buildout costs. 

        Then PJR Design will provide the custom casework and displays to showcase your project.


        After your project is sold out, you can then remove and reuse the custom casework and display panels

        for your next "Pop-up" Sales Center, saving time and costs.

        DeMarcay Sales Center is an example of how this worked in a retail space.

        Before

        PJR was commissioned by Greg Kveton of GK Development to design the Sales Center for DeMarcay, a luxury condominium residential project in Sarasota, Florida. The challenge was 

        to house it in a small retail space Greg was able to 

        rent directly across from the project site.


        We would approach the project in our typical manner - demo the space and construct a new space reflecting the ambiance of the project. We discovered during the process that the retail space 

        was below the flood plain. FEMA, therefore, would only 

        allow 50% of the assessed tax value in renovation costs 

        greatly impacting the budget.


        In addition to creating award-winning Sales Centers, the design staff at PJR Design has extensive experience in Trade Show Design and Fabrication. Using this knowledge, from large industrial exhibits to food innovation demos, we reimagined the

        DeMarcay Sales Center. You‘ve seen “Pop-up” retail stores, 

        now you have “Pop-up” Sales Centers.

        After

        Working closely with Christine Lutz of ON Collaborative, the 

        Sales and Marketing firm responsible for the DeMarcay project, 

        PJR designed a space with minimal construction and maximum 

        sales potential. The existing space was demo’d, we added new

        flooring showing actual materials used in the condominium 

        residences, painted the walls, used an open grid suspended 

        ceiling which showcased the actual ceiling height in the unit, 

        installed track lighting and refurbished the exterior storefront.


        Next we added the displays - material selections display 

        shelving, bath and kitchen vignettes including a faux kitchen 

        window showcasing an LED back-lit photo mural of the Gulf, 

        monitor enclosures and a scale model base were all casework 

        we fabricated off site and then installed.  In addition, PJR 

        Design selected and provided all interior furnishings.

        And the “Pop-up” Sales Center was born.  The perfect solution to a challenge beyond our control, and ideal for retail spaces and smaller budgets. And when your client says the PJR team exceeded expectation, our goal has been met.
