The Development Tracker and Authentic Form & Function are both excited to announce a new digital partnership, aimed at creating new ways for communities to understand and interact with the real estate and civic development happening within their city.
The Development Tracker (TDT) was established in 2012 as a resource to track real estate development within Minneapolis, and has since expanded to include neighboring St. Paul and Duluth to the north. The team is planning further expansion outside of Minnesota beginning in 2021.
TDT is based around a robust, multi-channel platform that reports on development activity through the lens of the average citizen. At the same, it encourages visitors to interact with the development process within their communities.
The group's active Instagram account has become a fixture for following the latest development news in the Twin Cities, with over 7.5K followers and daily interactions with an active community base.
Authentic Form & Function (AFF) is an integrated branding, design, and technology firm working on projects across the real estate and civic space.AFF brings forth a broad capability set that stretches from brand, design, and user experience, to software engineering, app development, and digital marketing.
Their team aims to bring cities and real estate projects into the digital-era with a suite of services and tools that elevate projects and build better cities.The AFF team also produces the Transforming Cities podcast, as well as the shorter City Sessions series, capturing the stories and sentiments of leaders across the CRE and urban landscapes.
Over the next several months, The Development Tracker and Authentic F&F will be working together to launch a new online platform for TDT, of which the focus will be on improved digital tools and web-based capabilities. These updates will make The Development Tracker a one of a kind destination for development news and happenings, and help TDT better engage with citizens, businesses, developers, and the community at large.
Over the long term, the two firms will build new ways of collaborating, combining the creative and digital services of Authentic Form & Function with the media platform and local savvy of The Development Tracker.
We're excited for what's ahead! Stay tuned as we continue to announce our work together.
