Prometheus Real Estate Group Launches New Website

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 03:27:10 +0000

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –
The newly designed Prometheus Real Estate Group, Inc. website (prometheusreg.com) goes live today. The site aims, consistent with the Prometheus brand, to provide an online experience that makes renting and living in an apartment fun, creative and effortless. Using the most current search technologies, the new web site is a mobile friendly experience with increased user flow, geo-location functionality and, of course, a beautiful, updated aesthetic.

Prometheus Real Estate Group is the largest private owner of multi-family properties and apartments in the San Francisco Bay Area with a growing portfolio of more than 18,000 metropolitan-area apartments in the Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Los Angeles communities. Cindy Park, Vice President of Marketing at Prometheus, summarizes: “Many of the people who live at our properties enjoy luxuries of working in some of the most admired, most creative, campuses in America. We wanted our online experience to feel as easy as possible and take the chore out of finding an apartment. We tried to have some fun with it and at the same time keep it elegantly simple.” The website makes the apartment search process quick and easy by typing in a City or property name. If more specificity is desired, a search can also be done by amenity, price, bedroom type, etc. And if a user is not sure exactly where to look for specific information on Prometheusreg.com, the newly developed site-wide search engine will help.

The online leasing function allows renting an apartment to be done 24/7 in the convenience of your home. And the online services functions provides access to most every online need for apartments from signing up for utilities, paying rent, to service requests. The website also includes a constantly updated blog providing entertaining and useful information spanning everything from interior design, community, to fashion. For future employees (“Prometheans”), the site also provides real time job opportunities and the ability to apply online.

Challenging the very typical and traditional approach to apartments is not new for Prometheus. Its brand won the Rosey Award in the Portland Advertising Federation and the firm has been recognized two years in a row as the best apartment management firm in the nation – in 2011 by the National Association of Home Builders and in 2010 by Multi-Housing News.

The website team of the Prometheus creative resources division and Owen Jones and Partners collaborated in creating this latest version of prometheusreg.com.

Embracing Social Media at Prometheus

Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:42:56 +0000

/PRNewswire/ — For Prometheus Real Estate Group, the largest owner of apartments in the San Francisco Bay area, breaking the mold of traditional advertising started with a simple blog. Today, Prometheus leverages the power of Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets across their diverse portfolio of properties. The effort allows Prometheus Real Estate employees (whom the company dubs “Prometheans”) to share relevant, helpful information like interior design tips, neighborhood news suggestions, and property info by engaging in a dynamic exchange with residents (appropriately referred to as “Neighbors”).

Now, getting the word out to neighbors about an upcoming event is just a blog, Facebook post or tweet away. A team of Prometheans, called “The Voice”, are dedicated to creating content and promoting the company’s social media presence. Staying connected via social media helps build a closer, more personally engaged community at Prometheus properties.

“Advertising is traditionally very sales orientated,” said Cindy Park, Vice President of Marketing, “with social media, we can communicate in our own voice, providing engaging and useful information. We’re building community with our current neighbors while reaching out and making a personal connection with future neighbors.”
