Clean and engaging design

The sites pages feature original photography of TAO managed buildings and their team.  Subtle design elements are included to engage site views as pictures change from black and white to color as users hover over them.  The purposeful use of the navy and gold accents helps to reinforce the high-end nature of the company’s properties, projects, and services.

CLIENT PORTAL

A client portal was also designed to facilitate communication between The Andrews Organization and their various stakeholders.

What brand work did KingFish + Partners do for The Andrews Organization?

The Andrews Organization is a premier NYC residential property management company managing nearly 400 buildings across all five boroughs. KingFish + Partners led a comprehensive brand repositioning and identity refresh – developing new logo concepts through an extensive exploration process, arriving at a modernized letter A in a refined navy and gold palette. The engagement covered brand guidelines, website design featuring original photography of TAO-managed buildings and team, and signage system design. The brief was to better represent the sophisticated clientele, extensive service range, and high-touch property management that define The Andrews Organization.

Rebranding a B2B real estate organization requires understanding the credibility signals that matter to its primary audience. For a property management company serving building owners and residents of premium residential properties, the brand needs to project professionalism, sophistication, and attention to detail. KingFish + Partners explored a wide range of identity directions for The Andrews Organization before arriving at a solution that evolved the existing mark – preserving equity built into the A symbol while modernizing with clean geometric forms, elegant wide-kerned serif typography, and a refined color palette appropriate to the premium market segment.
Brand guidelines for a property management company document all elements needed for consistent execution across physical and digital touchpoints: logo usage rules and clear space, primary and secondary color systems, typography with usage specifications, photography style direction for buildings and team, tone of voice guidance, and application examples across business cards, signage, marketing materials, and digital channels. For The Andrews Organization, the guidelines were designed to give internal teams and external vendors clarity for consistent brand representation across nearly 400 buildings.
A property management company website serves building owners evaluating management partners and current residents looking for property information. Effective design must project the professionalism attracting new building owners while being practically useful for existing residents. For The Andrews Organization, KingFish + Partners designed a site around original photography of managed properties and team members – creating an authentic impression that stock imagery cannot replicate.
