Real Estate Branding and Property Naming

Why names matter

Give the asset a name the market adopts.

A street address blends into every listing in the submarket. A building with a name and a story behind it gets talked about, and talk turns into tours.

✦

Sticks after one tour

A name brokers remember on the drive back to the office.

◐

Looks established early

A logo and palette that read as a funded, finished project.

↗

Stands apart nearby

Researched against every competing park so nothing sounds borrowed.

◎

Gives brokers a story

An origin story tenant reps can retell to their clients.

⌕

Stays consistent everywhere

A brand book keeps every vendor and every sign on brand.

Before the first sign

Name it before the fence goes up.

Tenant reps judge a new building by its name and look long before they tour it.

A name that feels considered tells them the owner is serious about the project. When that name, logo and voice carry from the fence wrap to the website, the building reads as one confident project, and it's the one they mention to their client.

Branding pricing

Start with a name or the whole identity

Naming, identity and the brand book are led by one strategist and designer from start to finish, and each price is fixed first, so the name can change and the price can't.

Brand or address

A brand next to the street address

A street address tells a broker where to park. A brand gives them something to say to the client in the passenger seat.

Why teams brand with us

We name and brand buildings that need to lease, so each route is judged by how it sounds in a broker's pitch.

Priced up front

Logos from $1,750, naming at $2,000 and the full brand package at $8,500, in writing first.

Name first

Naming comes first, so the name is set before the fence goes up and every later piece builds on it.

After the name

The brand is where the launch starts.

Once the name and logo are approved, the renderings, brochure, property website and fence wrap all carry them, built by the same team that named the building.

FAQ

Real estate branding agency questions

How much does it cost to name a commercial property?

Naming a commercial property with Leapyn costs $2,000. That covers research on the site, submarket and competing parks, three name routes with rationale and origin stories, and a domain and trademark surface check on each, plus one more round to develop the route you choose.

How much does a real estate branding agency charge?

A real estate branding agency like Leapyn charges $1,750 for a logo and core marks, $4,000 for a logo with a 6 to 8 page brand book and $8,500 for the full brand package. That package runs naming, positioning and a 16 to 24 page brand book as one program.

How do you come up with a name for a real estate development?

We name a real estate development by researching the site's land, history and roads, the submarket and every competing park nearby. From there we write three name routes, each with a rationale and an origin story, so the owner picks the one brokers will find easiest to tell.

Do you check trademarks and domains for property names?

Yes, every property name route gets a domain and trademark surface check before you see it, so you don't fall for a name that's already taken. It's a first screen, and we recommend your trademark counsel runs full clearance on the chosen name before filing.

What does a real estate brand book include?

A real estate brand book from Leapyn includes logo usage, clear space, color, type and sample applications in the 6 to 8 page essentials version for $4,000. The full 16 to 24 page book for $5,000 adds voice and tone, photography direction, iconography, signage standards, template rules and merchandise.

Can you rebrand an existing building?

Yes, we rebrand existing buildings that need a fresh start for a repositioning, renovation or new lease up. If the name stays, logo and core marks start at $1,750. If the name changes, project naming is $2,000, and pieces carrying the old brand are updated as rebuilds.

How long does a property branding project take?

A property branding project runs in order. Naming comes first, and logo and brand book work start once the name is approved. We set the schedule with you at kickoff around your fence and launch dates, and priority delivery is available for 15% of the rushed items.

How many name options do we get?

Every project naming engagement includes three name routes, each with a rationale and origin story, and three naming rounds in total. A round is one set of comments from your team. Asking for new names after one is chosen, or reopening rejected routes, is priced as a rebuild before work starts.

Real estate branding brokers love to repeat.
