432 Park Avenue is one of NYC’s most recognizable buildings–and one of the tallest residential buildings in the western hemisphere. At the base of this iconic tower is 36 East 57th Street and 40 East 57th Street. This elegant new boutique building offers sophisticated office floors and retail space respectively. The prestigious midtown location, directly across from The Four Seasons Hotel, is ideal for high-end office and retail tenants. Pace was hired to create the brand and to market this spectacular new space.
A Milestone Event. A Major Campaign.
On October 4th, CREW New York, the leading organization for professional women in commercial real estate in New York City, celebrated its milestone 40th anniversary with a spectacular gala at the Edison Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan. To brand, market and promote the event across all channels, the organization chose us as its partner.
FEM Real Estate has been a leader in developing, owning, and managing commercial real estate across the United States for over forty years. For their first residential project, they are developing South Beach at Long Branch, a very high-end, luxury condo building on the Jersey Shore. South Beach is the highest-priced ultra-luxury, oceanfront residential project in the region – and it’s truly the best of the best.
But FEM had a problem: sales were flat. They recognized that something wasn’t connecting with their brand and their target audience. So they engaged Pace, for help branding and marketing the project. Together, we created a whole new look and brand for South Beach at Long Branch. Here’s what we did.
Historic Condo Teams Up & Wins Big with Pace
The Bristol Palm Beach was designed to be the most luxurious waterfront condominium tower to ever overlook exclusive Palm Beach Island. Kudos to developer Flagler Investors LLC. Through their expertise and extraordinary vision, they assembled the perfect team of architects and designers to bring Palm Beach something it has never seen before. When Flagler engaged Pace to help brand and market this visionary project, only a few sales were completed. Our objective was to launch the project going into the Palm Beach season. Then, to carry that momentum through a range of advertising and marketing initiatives that would help lead The Bristol from groundbreaking to sellout. Three seasons – and three Super Bowl spots – later, this historic property has been topped off and is 90% sold out. It has also set its share of records along the way.
Here’s what we did to help Flagler crank up the sales…
The Lofts Pier Village: Not Your Father’s Jersey Shore!
When nationally acclaimed real estate developer Extell Development Company decided to develop its first New Jersey project, they teamed up with renowned Kushner Companies to create The Lofts Pier Village. This new community of high-end condominium residences is located right on the beach in Long Branch, NJ. Their goal was lofty: to change the architectural vocabulary of the Jersey Shore. How? By bringing a chic, modern, urban Manhattan aesthetic to a popular Jersey Shore destination.
To help accomplish this, they called on Pace. We were engaged to create a highly stylized, fully integrated branding campaign for the project. We began by developing a sleek, contemporary logo and elegant artist renderings. From there, we created a website and a high-end brochure. We also developed emails, ads, and everything in between, including a stunning sales center. This modern, chic, appealing campaign has set the tone for the project – and raised the bar for Jersey Shore projects to follow. Read More
28 East 28th Street: Big Space Requires Big Ideas
Our client, George Comfort & Son, has a BIG challenge – and a very unique opportunity: how to market a HUGE block of space at 28 East 28th Street in NoMad.

Comfort entrusted Pace to deliver some logical, magical solutions to get the attention of brokers and make them realize the tremendous potential of this space. We love a good challenge – and here’s what we came up with…
