Project Overview
Found at 17-31 Franklyn Street, Huntingdale occupies an expansive 5,000 sqm site in the heart of the city. Serving as a home for the future-makers, Found offers a state-of-the-art collection of elevated industrial business spaces.

Project Brief
Spectre and Hexa Group embarked on a joint venture on this significant land asset in Huntingdale. Despite facing substantial challenges in the commercial and industrial sectors, market instability due to rising interest rates and escalating construction costs, and the withdrawal of foreign investors, Spectre and Hexa were resolved to revolutionize the landscape. They aimed to set new expectations for commercial spaces, shaping the future with their ambitious goals:
01: Establish a recognizable brand identity and a scalable framework for national rollout (e.g., FOUND - Huntingdale, FOUND - Braeside).
02: Achieve 60% of total sales revenue.
03: Initiate construction upon reaching a minimum of 50% in sales.
Recognizing the importance of a compelling design-led and strategic solution coupled with a high-quality product offering, Spectre Group and Hexa enlisted our expertise to deliver this vision.
Project Innovation/Need
To create a noteworthy brand, we curated a compelling story and visuals that appealed to the business owners and investors of tomorrow — strong, bold, and precise. We developed a naming hierarchy that could transcend geographical boundaries while remaining relevant, resulting in FOUND - Huntingdale, FOUND - Braeside.
Distinct in its bold typeface, nontraditional tone, and visuals, our campaign stood out from the usual. We produced cinematic interviews and short-form content, featuring key stakeholders and architects who shared the vision for the site. This unique approach sets our campaign apart from the conventional property marketing approach.
Our well-crafted narrative, coupled with the offerings designed specifically for the 35-65 demographic, resonated strongly with our target audience. We complemented this narrative with a variety of supporting collateral, including interactive presentations, hoardings, films, and brochures. Every element was strategically designed, not merely for aesthetics but as a tool to instill confidence in prospective clientele, positioning FOUND as an unrivaled destination for investment and business.
