Case Study / Interactive Real Estate

Sharjah Sustainable City 2

A 1,032-unit master development, made fully explorable in real time. UMC Studios turned a static sales pitch into a living, interactive experience that the sales team uses every single day.

The Challenge

You cannot sell a city from a brochure.

A development of this scale moves constantly. Prices shift, units sell, phases release. Printed boards, fixed renders, and scale models are out of date the moment they are made, and none of them let a buyer do the one thing they actually want: see a specific unit, with today's real status, on the spot.

The client needed a sales tool that matched the ambition of the project itself. Something immersive enough to sell the vision, and accurate enough to close on the details, across a thousand-plus units, without slowing down.

The Solution

One experience. The whole development, alive.

We built a single real-time application that holds the entire masterplan, connects directly to the client's live inventory, and runs anywhere from a gallery touchscreen to a tablet in a broker's hand.

Capabilities

What makes it a closing tool, not a brochure.

Video
Screen-capture: a unit's status flipping from Available to Reserved to Sold in real time, with prices updating live.

01 / Live Inventory

Always-current pricing and availability

The experience connects straight to the client's live inventory data. The moment a unit is reserved, sold, or repriced, it updates inside the app. No re-exports, no waiting on the production team, no risk of showing a buyer a unit that closed last week.

  • Real-time sync with the client's own data source
  • Instant status: available, reserved, sold
  • Live pricing the sales team can trust on the floor

Tapping interactive points across the map: amenities, parks, sports facilities, retail and dining, then a home, each opening rich info.

02 / Interactive Points of Interest

Tap anything. See everything.

Every meaningful place in the development is interactive. Amenities, green spaces, sports and wellness facilities, retail and dining, and individual homes all respond to a touch, surfacing media, descriptions, and live detail. Buyers explore the lifestyle, not just the floor plan.

  • Clickable POIs across the entire masterplan
  • Rich pop-ups: media, specs, plans, and pricing
  • Tells the lifestyle story, not just the unit story

The lead-capture flow: favourite, screenshot, and send, all in one session.

03 / In-Session Lead Capture

The buyer leaves with the brochure. You keep the lead.

This is where a viewing turns into a sale. As a buyer explores, they favourite the homes they love and capture screenshots of the views that move them. Before they leave the room, the agent enters their email and the experience instantly sends a personalised package: their favourited units, the matching brochures, and their own saved screenshots. No "I'll follow up tomorrow," no lead forgotten in a notebook. The follow-up is done before they reach the car park.

  • Buyers favourite homes and capture screenshots as they explore
  • The agent sends a tailored email in-session, in seconds
  • Auto-includes favourited units, brochures, and screenshots
  • A bespoke build: the real-time app wired to a dedicated backend
Video
Smooth navigation across all 1,032 homes, zero stutter, selecting different units rapidly to show responsiveness at scale.

04 / Built for Scale

One thousand homes. No compromise.

Handling a development this large in real time is where most tools fall over. Ours doesn't. All 1,032 homes, the 944 townhouses and 88 villas, are individually selectable inside one fluid, photorealistic scene, with no drop in fidelity and no loading screens between them.

  • Every home selectable, not just highlighted zones
  • Full photoreal quality held across the whole map
  • Engineered to stay fast at master-plan scale

Sweep across the landscaped community: dense, accurate greenery filling streets, parks, and private gardens.

05 / A Living Environment

A real, breathing landscape. Rendered in real time.

Green space is the entire point of a sustainable city, so it could not look fake. We populated the masterplan with thousands of trees, plants, and planting beds using bespoke procedural generation systems, placing vegetation with real accuracy across the whole site. Then we optimised relentlessly, so all of that detail still runs smoothly on a gallery touchscreen, with no loading and no lag.

  • Bespoke procedural systems for accurate, large-scale vegetation
  • Thousands of trees and plants across the full masterplan
  • Heavily optimised to stay fast at full photoreal quality

06 / Anywhere It Needs To Be

Gallery, tablet, or laptop. Same experience.

The same high-fidelity experience runs on the gallery's large touchscreen, on an agent's tablet during a private viewing, and on a laptop in a remote pitch. Non-technical sales staff drive it with zero training, because it behaves exactly the way people expect a screen to behave.

  • Optimized for in-gallery touchscreens
  • Runs across devices for remote and on-site selling
  • No training overhead for the sales team
The Results

From a nice-to-have to the centre of the sales floor.

The experience didn't just look good in a pitch. It became the tool the sales team reaches for first, every day, with every buyer.

[ PRIMARY CLIENT QUOTE, the single most valuable element on this page ]

The one sentence from the client that says this changed how the team sells. Ideally names the outcome and the feeling: "Our agents will not run a viewing without it now."
