VESTAL — Nelson Development Group, LLC has hired virtual tour provider, Small Town 360, to create “immersive” tours of the company’s seven historic properties, including the new Gateway Building under construction on Front Street in Owego.
The concept is to provide a 24/7 “Walk Through” for people to easily explore the inside of these buildings, the two Vestal–based companies said in a news release.
Small Town 360 will photograph and build tours for the buildings and apartments. The tours will become a tool and a resource for Nelson Development’s management team, according to David Coleman, owner of Small Town 360. Work on this project began in December.
“It will feel like you are walking through the halls of these buildings, every room different and with a special story to tell,” Coleman said in the release.
“Our buildings provide both residence and businesses with a one-of-a-kind environment meant to not only inspire but to boost pride in our community. We give people the opportunity to see how attractive, exciting buildings exist right in their own town,” Bruce Nelson, CEO of Nelson Development Group, said. “I chose Small Town 360 for this assignment because they are a leader in this innovative technology and their commitment to quality matches our own high standards.”
Nelson founded Nelson Development Group in 2008 to restore historical buildings and adapt them for “a new life.” He has 30 years’ experience in the construction field. Nelson Development’s other development projects include the Water Works Center in Watkins Glen; the Flats on Broadway and The Montour House in Montour Falls; and The Estates, Sheriff’s House, and The Jailhouse in Owego (pictured).
Small Town 360’s other recent virtual-tour projects include the Quarry Farm (Mark Twain’s summer residence), the Clemens Center, the Arnot Art Museum, Chenango County Council Arts, Binghamton Theatre, State Theatre of Ithaca, and the Historic Baxter Library in Portland, Maine, the release stated.
