Real estate marketing for off-plan launches

Four launches for one developer across Dubai and the UK: the page, the campaign creative and the lead capture built together by one person, because a launch page and the spend pointed at it optimise against each other when they are bought separately.

The parts

What an off-plan launch actually needs

Usually bought as four separate things from four separate suppliers, which is where most of the leakage happens.

The launch page

A page for the development itself, separate from the developer's corporate site, with one conversion goal rather than a menu of them. It carries the renders at full quality without the load time that usually comes with them.

Campaign creative

Carousels and single-image sets built as a run rather than as individual posts, so a feed reads as one launch. Built on a template distinct from the parent brand system, so each development reads as its own product without leaving the identity behind.

Lead capture and routing

A callback form with a UAE-formatted phone field, a brochure download as a lower-commitment second route, and forms structured so the enquiry arrives somewhere a broker can act on rather than in an inbox.

The campaign behind it

Paid social pointed at the page, with the creative and the page written together. When the same person owns both, the page can be allowed to lose clicks on purpose in exchange for better leads — a trade nobody makes when the two sides are bought separately.

What decides it

Four decisions that separate a launch page from a brochure

01

Put the price where it filters

The entry price sits in the hero — from AED 1 million on Hadley Heights, from AED 600K on Weybridge Gardens 2 — so someone outside the bracket leaves before filling in a form. It costs clicks and it looks worse on a traffic report. It produces a better cost per qualified lead, which is the number that matters.

02

One action, and one route for everyone else

A single primary call to action, short enough to finish on a phone. Qualification happens on the call rather than in the form, because every extra field costs completions. Existing buyers get their own route — Check Construction Progress — so they stop arriving in the new-enquiry list and distorting it.

03

Lead with what the buyer is actually choosing on

At the studio and one-bedroom end the differentiator is character, not price, so the copy leads with the design language. On a larger unit it leads with location and scale. The same template with the same copy across a portfolio is how launches start looking interchangeable.

04

Front-load the visual, hold the detail

A five-slide carousel opens on the render and keeps location, scale, unit sizes and interiors for later slides. A scroller gets the hook; someone genuinely interested gets the specification. Ordering it the other way loses both.

The launches

Every one of them, written up

Each opens into the brief, the decisions behind the page and what shipped.

Cavendish SquareCavendish Square is 138 homes in Jumeirah Village Triangle, and the unit mix shapes everything about how it has to be sold: 114 studios and 24 one-bedroom apartments, from 428 to 1,209 sq ft. That is an investor and first-purchase audience rather than a family one, so the page leads with the address and the amenity set — rooftop garden, outdoor cinema, pool, gym — because at this size the shared space is the product. Estimated completion Q4 2025.Read the case study
Hadley HeightsA 216-apartment residential development in JVC, designed and developed in the UK by British architects and interior designers. The campaign needed to convert interest into qualified, contactable investor leads rather than simply build awareness, so the landing page and the creative were built as one system.Read the case study
Weybridge GardensThe first Weybridge Gardens: a UK-designed residential community in Dubailand built around brutalist architecture softened by contemporary interiors. A studio and one-bed product competes on a crowded price shelf, so the page leads on design credibility rather than square footage.Read the case study
Weybridge Gardens 2The second phase took the same Dubailand location in a completely different direction: Provence, French-inspired living, 288 homes from AED 600,000. A themed launch only works if the theme survives contact with the conversion path, so the page had to carry it while still turning interest into registered, contactable buyers.Read the case study
Common questions

About launch work

Why does each launch need its own page instead of a section on the corporate site?
Because they are answering different questions. A corporate site has to carry the developer's whole story and every development at once. A launch page has one job — turn campaign traffic into a contactable buyer for one building — and the moment it also has to serve navigation, the other developments and an About section, it stops doing that job well.
What happens to people who have already bought?
They get their own route off the page. On Weybridge Gardens 2 that is Check Construction Progress, sitting separately from the primary action. Existing owners will come to a launch page looking for updates whether you plan for it or not, and without somewhere to go they end up in the new-enquiry list, where they make the campaign look better than it is and waste a broker's morning.
How many launches have you actually run?
Four, for one developer, over about two years: Hadley Heights, Cavendish Square, Weybridge Gardens and Weybridge Gardens 2. Alongside those, the corporate website, the mobile app and the brand social work for the same client. Every one is published on this site with the decisions behind it, rather than described in a list.
Do you work on UK developments as well as Dubai ones?
Yes. LEOS Developments is headquartered in Weybridge, Surrey with offices in London and an experience centre in Dubai, so the work already ran across both markets. The buyer for a Dubai off-plan unit is frequently not in Dubai, which is a large part of why the campaign and the page have to be built together.
