Impact

Unified multiple rental properties into one searchable platform and created a clearer path from property discovery to suite selection and in-person booking.

Starting the Search With the Decisions Renters Actually Make. Instead of asking users to explore each building separately, we designed the experience around the key decisions renters make first: property, bedroom count, pricing, and move-in timing. A centralized search and portfolio view makes it easier to narrow options before diving into individual communities.

Centralized Search

Combines property, bedroom, and move-in criteria into one focused rental search.

Property Comparison

Surfaces location, pricing, availability, and imagery in a consistent format for faster comparison.

Turning Complex Rental Inventory Into a Clear Decision System. Each property contains multiple suite types, layouts, prices, and availability states. We organized this information into a structured suite index that lets users move from building-level context into individual units while keeping floorplans, square footage, pricing, and availability easy to compare.

Structured Suite Index

Standardizes unit details across properties so renters can compare options without relearning the interface.

Floorplan-Level Detail

Connects each suite to its layout, size, pricing, availability, and booking action.

Keeping Dense Property Information Clear on Every Screen. The desktop experience supports broad comparison and rich visual content, while mobile restructures the same information into focused vertical flows. Navigation, filtering, suite details, and booking actions remain accessible without overwhelming smaller screens.

Mobile-First Hierarchy

Reorganizes dense property and suite information into clear, scannable mobile layouts.

Direct Booking Path

Keeps appointment actions visible at key decision points from property browsing through suite selection.
