Archetype3D builds custom physical real estate development models in Denver, Colorado, and ships them worldwide. Our models help teams explain planned communities, resorts, golf courses and mixed-use projects before construction.
See the workThe Central Park model went into the sales center before the first house had been built. For Daybreak, we made a larger view of an upcoming phase, down to its roads, paths and building lots. Golf courses can also be central amenities in a development model: Marcella Club brings the course together with roads, lot lines and future development areas, while the Big Sky model places golf and resort context within the mountain landscape. The right amount of detail depends on what a visitor is meant to learn from the model. See the Marcella Club project and Big Sky terrain model.
For residential communities and commercial projects, we start with the site plan and the conversations your team expects to have. Where will the model be displayed? Which buildings, phases and amenities should stand out? A physical real estate 3D model can give visitors the overview, while your drawings and renderings help explain the finer details.

Contact usA development doesn’t have to be shown all at once. For Daybreak, we modeled an upcoming phase in detail, down to its roads, paths and building lots, so the sales team can explain the overall layout and then turn to the plans for individual lot details.
It’s a physical model of a planned development, with its buildings, streets, parks and amenities, so people can picture the place before it’s built.

It depends on the size, scale, level of finish and source material. See our guide to what a custom scale model costs. Planning the model budget.
Archetype3D prices every model by shop time, at about $5,000 per week, with a fixed-cost proposal for each project. Models range from about $5,000 for a simple study model to $150,000 for a large, complex development. For real estate development models, the main cost drivers are number of unique buildings, terrain and landscaping. See the cost guide. Cost guide.
Share what the model needs to show and who it’s for, and we’ll help you think through scale, details and next steps.
