Transforming the commercial real-estate landscape

The commercial real-estate industry has remained stubbornly analogue. Customers and employees alike expect hand-shake deals that come from in-person interactions; as they say in this world, relationships matter.

CBRE is the dominant brand in this industry, and in 2020, they approached Code and Theory to transform their brand and website into a digitally native platform. Our research revealed an ecosystem of hidden value that was not fully recognized.

Interactive Way Finding Features

Interactive Way Finding Features | The site offers interactive tools that can translate broad user-needs into personalized recommendations.

The result? A site that sets a new standard for the industry. The future of commercial real-estate is digital and CBRE is going to lead that transformation. The new site is set up to expand the audience's expectation about what CBRE offers; it re-organizes its many-hundreds of service offerings into readable packages that make sense to site visitors. As a result, the site is turning into a revenue and lead generator for lines of business that were buried in the org-chart. This digital transformation will drive more revenue and awareness for the brand and will help position CBRE as the trend-setter for this industry for the next 100 years.

Expanding the Value Proposition | The new site is organized to tackle the unspoken confusion held by most of its visitors. It features direct messages that describe its service offerings in clear language.
