Catalyst will serve as TFJG’s one-stop shop in marketing Luna Pointe in Hampton, VA and Banyan Grove in Virginia Beach, VA, both recently acquired luxury apartment communities.

The properties’ amenities include a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center, a resort-style swimming pool, a pet park, on-site 24-hour maintenance, a fully stocked fishing lake, tennis courts, a playground, a luxurious community clubhouse, and outdoor grilling/recreational areas.

Additionally, Catalyst’s rebranding efforts have established a singular voice for TFJG and have made a direct impact in helping us attract and retain residents.”

As part of its contract, Catalyst will oversee the renaming of the properties, brand guides, logo creation, and all marketing collateral.

“Having clients sign multiple contracts with Catalyst is the most gracious compliment to the work we do in the multifamily housing space,” said Jamie Matusek, President of Catalyst. “At the end of the day, when the client wins, we win — and we celebrate in that partnership. Knowing we have made a positive impact on a client’s business — and helped establish brands that attract residents — is a true testament to the work we aspire to do each and every day. We are thankful for our relationship with TFJG.”
