Urbanity Advisors’ community ties are deep and we will always seek to foster a win-win relationship between the people of the community and the municipalities and/or developers that plan on affecting existing dynamics. Our team is thoroughly experienced and ready to be your resource.

Due Diligence & Project Management

Our team can provide real estate development due diligence and project management services to save you time. We will handle all of the necessary work that comes along with developing, redeveloping, or altering a property or streetscape, such as permitting, zoning variations, and more. Rest easy knowing that all the necessary tasks will be handled in a timely and highly organized manner, leaving no stone unturned to assure a smooth development process.

Urban Planning & Development

The team at Urbanity Advisors can provide you with cutting edge urban planning and sustainable development practices, assuring that your city or development is laid out to the finest standards of livability. Offering services in the following areas:

  • Master planning

  • Planning and design

  • Streetscape planning and design

  • Revitalization

  • Pedestrian and bicycle amenities

Marketing & Branding

To complement the Urbanity Advisors’ urban planning and real estate development services, we also offer marketing and branding to help municipalities and developers advertise their projects.

From an urban planning perspective, this can include anything that may be needed to encourage effective community engagement, such as social media management, website creation, as well as general branding and design. We’ve found that community members lend more trust to processes that are well put together, which includes the visual materials provided and distributed through the neighborhood. Additionally, social media can serve as a great medium for connecting to the younger community members to obtain the often missed youth opinion.

For developers, Urbanity Advisors prevents piecemeal messaging by complementing our market research services and providing a partnership that will result in consistent messaging from groundbreaking to grand opening. We will handle the development of your brand, while creating excitement and buzz through social media and the web, with an unmatched understanding of your target audience and environment.
