RESPONDING TO NEW URBANISM
Urban Realty's commitment in developing mixed-use, walkable
communities is consistent with a growing school of urban planning
called New Urbanism. Increasingly, city residents are becoming
frustrated with the long commutes, traffic congestion, and social
isolation associated with sprawling, poorly planned suburban areas.
These new urbanites realize and appreciate the benefits of living
and working within a vibrant, pedestrian oriented in-town setting
where community is a focus. Developments providing a unique
sense of place will be sought out by this demographic group.
FOCUS ON SMART GROWTH
Urban Realty is a strong proponent of Smart Growth. The Urban
Land Institute defines "Smart Growth" as growth that is
economically sound, environmentally friendly and supportive of
community livability - growth that enhances our quality of life.
Urban Realty's projects are intended to support smart growth by
developing communities that:
- Mix land uses with complimentary office, residential and retail spaces
- Incorporate existing community assets
- Provide a range of housing options
- Feature pedestrian orientation
- Provide a variety of transportation choices
- Use sustainable systems and materials
ENERGIZING IN-TOWN LIVING
Urban Realty Partners focuses on two primary product lines:
residential and office. The residential business is in response to the
expanded marketplace for higher density housing in vibrant "18
hour" urban neighborhoods where workplaces are within an easy
commute, amenities such as restaurants, retail, recreational and
cultural attractions are within walking distance, and transit
provides an alternative to the automobile. The residential product
line includes multi-family rental, condominiums, townhouses and
high-density, single family residences.
The office business consists of the development of attractively
priced office space for in-town office users seeking an alternative in
both design and price to traditional class A and B space. These
developments include rehabilitation of older buildings as well as
new construction in desirable urban locations and typically appeal
to creative, high tech, entrepreneurial and other similar users. An
additional core competency of the group is acquisition of existing
office assets.
Urban Realty Partners' expertise extends, as well, to complementary
retail as part of a mixed-use project.
