We create contemporary urban spaces for diverse communities for living, working and playing.

For over 30 years our vertically integrated firm is agile, flexible and innovative at every step of the process: from creating a vision for development to partnering with creative designers for distinctive yet sensitive designs; from executing buildings with great detailing to revitalizing neighborhoods and communities by using our projects as catalysts for change.

What we do

Each of Urbanica’s projects is uniquely developed through collaborations between designers, engineers, consultants, investors, financial institutions, legal advisors, real estate professionals and local leaders; each is brilliantly executed to the highest degree of quality and each resulted in highly desirable products for end users to live in and enjoy.

Each of our team members has a diverse range of skills and talents. Our vertically‐integrated approach also allows us to take control of the entire process, ensuring top quality from concept to final execution.

+ PRIVATE/PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS
Rather than taking an avant‐garde approach, we are interested in working with the existing urban fabric and enhancing the culture of the community. We strongly advocate for designs that are sensitively adapted to our contemporary milieu.

We specialize in converting publically owned properties that are historically significant, structurally underutilized or economically strategic. By collaborating with all stakeholders ‐ governmental agencies, zoning, planning and historical commissions, local neighborhood communities and business groups ‐ we are able to create and complete transformative projects.

+ SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
We believe in adding value to society and in sharing a common vision with the local community. The whole of our development is greater than the sum of its parts; the well‐being of our community is crucial for our success as entrepreneurs.
