From the overlooked to the overly complex, Urban Villages sees opportunity where others may not. While Urban Villages does not have a typical property management or development profile, the same strategic resolve and innate flexibility drive every project. The firm's long-term approach and commitment to excellence enable it to create value for investment partners, property owners, end consumers, and project neighbors alike. The management team's vast experience and numerous connections make Urban Villages a respected and sought-after partner for consultation, investment, acquisition, development, and management. In evaluating opportunities, the firm looks for creative, principled partners who share the same environmental, social, and economic values.

Real-Estate Development
By design, Urban Villages is not about high volume. Buying smart and seldom keeps the firm lean and agile. When real estate markets present opportunities, the firm is ready to purchase properties at attractive prices, add value, and maintain ownership through the upswing and beyond. Every Urban Villages project offers excellent potential for long-term financial gain and multiple positive impacts.

Deal structures used by Urban Villages are as diverse as its ventures. The firm often acts as master developer, but can also function in a traditional development manager role, as principal, as consultant, or in a variety of other roles. Urban Villages often partners with private landowners, government organizations, NGOs, institutional advisors, and fellow developers.

Property Management
The Urban Villages team manages properties with the same care and attention we give our own homes. With attentive, detail-oriented management, Urban Villages helps augment each property’s value by driving demand and increasing efficiencies.

We are a boutique-style management company that gives personal attention to every property we oversee; be it a portfolio of commercial spaces or a single mixed-use building. When Urban Villages is selected as property manager, we immediately begin building a knowledge base specific to the property. We conduct a full audit, including a review of building systems, leases, tenant relations, vendors, contracts, and existing operations. We also study the surrounding neighborhoods to better understand market demands and opportunities for the property. Most importantly, we engage in a comprehensive dialogue with the owners and investors to understand the goals and vision for the property, and its place in both the ownership portfolio and the community. With a thorough understanding of operations and short- and long-term goals, we tailor our management strategies to best ensure success.
