How Bird’s-Eye View 3D Rendering Helps Showcase Large Development Projects
There are lots of benefits to using aerial views in your projects. We explain a lot about this type of rendering on our main service page for 3D aerial renderings, but here are some highlights in brief:
Comprehensive overall perspective of your developments: Aerial views offers a zoomed out perspective for a complete understanding of a project's scale and the environment it is being built in.
Enhanced ability to visualize projects: Aerial views can help in visualizing complex structures and landscapes in a realistic manner.
Effective way to communicate big picture ideas to stakeholders: These renderings can improve presentation and communication of design ideas to clients and stakeholders, helping them to see the bigger picture (and invest more money).
Planning and Analysis: Can assist urban planners and professionals doing environmental impact analysis to see the broader effect a development will have on the planned location.
Marketing and Sales: Aerials views are an impressive way to market and showcase properties or projects to potential buyers and investors.
Project approval and stakeholder engagement: Aids in obtaining approvals from the appropriate authority by providing a clear vision of the proposed project. Also helps to engage the community and stakeholders by providing a realistic view of future developments, helping to dissuade any fears they might have.
The Types of Developments That Could Benefit the Most From Aerial Views
Aerial or bird's-eye view renderings are a powerful tool for architects, developers, and builders to showcase their projects. Here is a list of different types of architectural projects that could greatly benefit from these renderings, with a brief explanation of the advantages:
Large Residential Subdivisions
Aerial renderings allow potential buyers and investors to understand the layout, scale, and context of any new or proposed residential subdivisions. They can get a better feel for the proximity to amenities, road networks, and how the subdivision interacts with the surrounding natural landscapes, which is really important for large-scale developments.
Condo / Urban Residential Towers
Bird's-eye views of condo towers can highlight the building's architecture, its relationship to surrounding structures, and any shared amenities that might be present, like rooftop gardens or pools, making it easier for potential buyers to visualize the lifestyle they would be buying into if they were to live at the property.
Shopping Malls and Commercial Plazas
Aerial renderings of shopping malls can showcase the size and scope of the development, including parking facilities, access points, and the integration of the mall within the community. This can be attractive to both retailers and customers, and a good way to advertise new malls. This sort of rendering is also great for seeing how solar panels can be incorporated into the complex.
Bird's-eye view renderings of commercial plazas can emphasize the layout, tenant mix, and potential traffic flow and direction through the plaza, helping to attract tenants and investors by demonstrating the plaza's potential for customer engagement, and allowing plaza owners to determine which real estate is the most valuable.
Mixed-Use Developments
Aerial views can be particularly beneficial for mixed-use projects incorporating elements of residential, commercial, retail, and other components, as they can display the complex integration of these different types of spaces, showing how they can coexist and complement each other.
Amusement Parks
For amusement parks, aerial renderings can highlight the layout of attractions, pathways, and landscaping, helping to market the park’s experience to potential visitors and investors, and functioning as a sort of map for people trying to find rides. How fun would it be to see a full mini golf course from the top down!
Gas Stations and Highway Rest Stops
Bird's-eye view renderings can clearly show the accessibility and facilities of gas stations and rest stops, showing their convenience for travelers and potential for roadside businesses. They can also help traffic planners and municipal departments prepare any on or off ramps as needed.
Schools, Colleges and Other Educational Campuses
Aerial renderings of educational institutions can display school, college or other campus layouts, including academic buildings, student housing, sports and other recreational facilities, etc. which can help attract students and faculty initially, and later help them find their way around.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and healthcare complexes can benefit from aerial views by showcasing the scale of the facilities and the layout for easy navigation, where entrances are for disabled people and ambulances, also highlighting the integration of various departments and services.
Industrial Complexes
For industrial developments, aerial renderings can demonstrate the scale and organization of the facility, including production areas, storage, and logistics hubs, which can be vital for investors and stakeholders.
Sports Complexes and Stadiums
Aerial renderings can showcase the scale and layout of sports facilities, including stadiums, training grounds, sports fields, and other associated amenities, appealing to fans, athletes, and potential sponsors, as you can show exactly how much exposure they will have for their games in their respective roles.
Waterfront Developments
For developments near bodies of water like harbors, ocean fronts, rivers etc., aerial views can highlight the relationship and interaction between the built up environment and the natural waterfront, showcasing recreational spaces, marinas, docks, swimming areas and scenic views.
Urban Renewal Projects
Bird's-eye views are crucial for illustrating the transformation of urban spaces, showing the integration of new structures with existing ones, and demonstrating improvements in infrastructure and public spaces. Your councilors and constituents will thank you!
Transportation Hubs: Planes, trains, buses and trams
Airports, train stations, and tram or bus terminals can benefit from aerial views as they can display the complexity of transportation networks, especially when and how they interact with each other, passenger flow, relationship to other modes of transport etc., which can be really helpful for planning developments initially and later for passengers planning their journeys.
Luxury Resorts and Hotels
Aerial views can highlight the layout, luxury amenities, landscaping, and surrounding natural beauty of resorts and hotels, which is essential for marketing to potential guests and investors, particularly in the luxury sector where first impressions are everything.
Golf Courses and Country Clubs
These renderings can showcase the size, scale and design of the course, club facilities, and landscaping, how many holes, how many bunkers or water traps etc. helping to attract members and guests by highlighting the exclusivity of the amenities and for golf clubs, showing how challenging or easy the course will be.
Public Parks and Gardens
Aerial renderings can illustrate the design, pathways, vegetation, and any features like ponds or playgrounds in public parks, aiding in community engagement and funding initiatives as they will help stakeholders imagine themselves in the beautiful new park you are planning.
Eco-friendly and Sustainable Developments (Solar, Wind Farms, Hydroelectricity plants)
Aerial renderings of eco-friendly projects can emphasize sustainable features like green roofs, solar panel arrays, the layout and number of proposed windmills in a wind farm etc., appealing to environmentally conscious investors and buyers, and also comforting people who might be worried that eco-friendly developments may ruin their local environments.
Science and Technology Parks
These renderings can display the layout of tech parks, including research facilities, incubation centers, and collaborative spaces, essential for attracting tech companies and researchers to your local area or proposed development.
Retirement Communities and Assisted Living Facilities
Aerial renderings can help showcase the layout of these communities, emphasizing their access points and accessibility, community and garden spaces, proximity to healthcare facilities or other local attractions such as beaches, bingo clubs etc., which can be important considerations for residents and their families.
Cultural Centers and Museums
For cultural institutions, bird's-eye views can highlight interesting elements of architectural design, spatial layout, and integration with public spaces, aiding in attracting visitors and cultural engagement from around the world, and helping visitors orient themselves online prior to attending your venue in person.
Agricultural and Farm Developments
Aerial views can be beneficial in illustrating the size of agricultural facilities and how they are organized, including the layout of crop fields, irrigation systems, and farm buildings. This can be essential for farmers or groups of farmers with adjoining properties working together, and for potential investors and planners for new farm developments.
