Guide for developers & companies

Show investment projects on TROVELA — not just single listings.

Developers, construction companies and agencies can present entire projects on TROVELA: a dedicated project page, multiple units, company profile and search discovery — alongside your normal property listings.

Why this matters: Buyers searching for new builds or investment opportunities expect a project overview — not twenty separate ads for the same building.

Overview

Why publish projects on TROVELA?

A normal listing works well for one apartment or house. A development with dozens of units needs more: buyers want to see the building, floor plans, price ranges, delivery timeline and who is behind the project.

On TROVELA, companies create a project dossier with gallery, description, map location and linked unit listings. Search can surface the whole project when individual units match — and your company profile shows all active projects in one place.

This guide explains how project presentation works on TROVELA and how it complements your standard listings.

Two ways to publish

Listings vs project dossiers

Use both: single listings for resale and rentals, project dossiers for new developments and multi-unit sales.

Standard listing

One property, one ad — ideal for resale apartments, houses, land or rental. Full detail page with photos, price, features and contact.

Project dossier

One development, many units — gallery, overview, map, company link and a table of available units with links to each listing.

Search discovery

Matching units can aggregate into a project card in search results, giving buyers the full picture instead of scattered duplicate ads.

Presenting investment properties & developments on TROVELA

Whether you are building residential towers, villa complexes or commercial schemes — TROVELA lets you market the entire project professionally while keeping each unit bookable as its own listing.

1. What is a project on TROVELA?

A project groups multiple unit listings under one development. Instead of repeating the same building photos in every ad, you maintain one project dossier that buyers browse first.

2. The project detail page

The project page is what buyers land on from search, your company profile or shared links. It should answer: what is being built, where, by whom, and which units are still available.

Gallery & visualsExterior renders, show apartment, common areas and location context.
Key factsUnit count, room mix, price from, delivery or construction phase.
Unit tableList of linked listings with status — available, reserved or sold.
Map & contactProject location plus enquiry options to your sales team.

  • Mark sold units promptly so inventory stays accurate
  • Add direct contact routes for sales enquiries

Why buyers trust it

  • All projects from one developer in one place
  • Transparent link between company and developments

FAQ: Projects & investment properties

Can I use TROVELA for both normal listings and projects?

Yes. Most companies use standard listings for resale and rental, and project dossiers for new builds or multi-unit developments. Both appear on your company profile.

Do I need a separate listing for each apartment?

Yes — each unit should be its own listing linked to the project. That way buyers can compare units and you can mark individual apartments as sold or reserved.

Will my project appear in search?

When linked units match search filters, buyers can see a project dossier card aggregating those units. Keeping units accurate and active improves visibility.

Who is this for?

Developers, construction firms, investment-focused agencies and any company selling multiple units in one scheme — residential or commercial.
