Urbana specializes in developing and redeveloping strategically located properties both domestically and internationally. They seek out sites with unrealized potential and evaluate their development potential with a balanced assessment of risk and reward. The...ir strength lies in acquiring underperforming real estate properties and transforming them into investment-caliber assets through various value-enhancing repositioning and management strategies.

They may choose to sell the assets to these investors who are interested in acquiring outperforming assets. Geographically, Urbana focuses on acquisition opportunities in gateway cities and select markets throughout the United States and globally. Targeted property types include office, retail, multi-family, hotel, and mixed-use projects. They consider fee-simple real estate acquisition, as well as underperforming and non-performing mortgages as investment opportunities. Urbana and its equity partners maintain a vigilant watch on the dynamics of the real estate and capital markets, always prepared to seize suitable opportunities as they emerge.
