JUNCTION+Living The concept JUNCTION+Living sets the stage for creative messaging that strategically connects the audience with ideas, actions and expressions that resonate with their lifestyle. The use of the plus sign communicates this connection in a symbolic way, using a character mark rather than words. By visually positioning the passions of urban enthusiasts in direct relationship to the property, we automatically connect Junction with their most treasured ideals. → T he character mark reflects the ongoing trend to abbreviate words → T he plus sign is a symbol of positivity. It is also reflective of an intersection. → Appeals to a youthful, digitally-focused generation
