Retainer Programs for Developers, Builders, and Commercial Real Estate Teams

Why Most of Our Clients Choose a Retainer Partnership

Commercial development and large-scale construction don’t fit inside single-shoot media orders. Projects evolve, stakeholders change, timelines shift, and communication requires continuity. Our retainer programs ensure predictable coverage, consistent visuals, investor-grade reporting, and faster delivery without repetitive onboarding or rescheduling.

Compare Retainer Plans

We offer three core retainer programs designed to support different levels of development activity, communication needs, and project complexity. All plans include consistent media coverage, edited deliverables, commercial usage rights, and access to a dedicated media archive. The difference between plans is based on visit frequency, reporting needs, and the level of communication support your project requires.

Core

Designed for smaller builders, single-site projects, or teams new to commercial media documentation. This plan provides one scheduled on-site capture per month focused on progression documentation, milestone tracking, and foundational deliverables.

Ideal for: smaller development teams, early-stage buildout, or light reporting needs.

Investment begins at $3,200 per month.

Growth

Built for active development projects, multi-stakeholder communication, or teams focused on supporting both marketing and operational needs. This plan includes two scheduled captures per month and incorporates structured reporting, leasing and sales content support, and additional investor-ready assets.

Ideal for: mid-size development teams, active GC partnerships, leasing and sales support, or projects with defined timelines and milestones.

Investment typically ranges from $6,500 to $9,500 per month depending on project scope and location.

Institutional

Created for capital-driven development, multi-phase projects, public or private partnership construction, or organizations with multiple active properties. This plan includes weekly coverage, advanced reporting, investor update films, site mapping or overlays when needed, expanded crew support, and enterprise-level communication alignment.

Ideal for: capital groups, multi-site developers, infrastructure or P3 projects, long-duration construction, and leadership or investor-driven communication environments.

Investment is custom-quoted based on scope, frequency, and deliverable requirements.

Customization Option

Retainer structures can be modified based on frequency, duration, deliverable expectations, and complexity. Quarterly, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month, and 24-month agreements are available.

Add-On Pricing & Options Section

These upgrades can be added to any plan and are designed to enhance investor communication, leasing velocity, and project transparency. Pricing varies based on scope and frequency and can be included in your monthly agreement or billed per request.

Available Add-Ons Include:

3D and virtual tour documentation

Aerial mapping, GIS overlays, and site boundary callouts

Render integration, animated build sequences, and data overlays

Executive voiceover scripting and teleprompter guidance

Quarterly investor or leadership presentation films

Leasing or marketing microsite development

Project-timeline highlight films or milestone recap reels

Interview-based storytelling with leadership, city partners, or residents

Branding and messaging development support

Floor plans, virtual staging, or asset-specific marketing packages

Note: All add-ons can be bundled or scheduled as part of a long-term communication plan.
