Oyster prioritizes working with local authorities, politicians and community groups in a collaborative approach to create conscientiously designed projects that relate to the context of the neighborhoods. Ultimately, a number of key influences guide Oyster’s residential development strategy. First of all, there is an understanding and appreciation of modern urban living. Secondly, we have personal experience of the convenience and environmental benefits of high-density living. Thirdly, years of sales experience reinforce our awareness that ownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers in high cost of living areas are significantly underserved. Lastly, we embrace and prefer modern architectural design.
