The truly international flavor of our work is a product of the global perspective of Urbanista Developments’ partners. We effortlessly work across cultures, languages, and borders and our diverse perspectives and backgrounds together into something truly remarkable. Our developments are one of a kind – reflecting the unique energies that we bring to the table.One of our unique assets is our ability to see both sides of the fence. We ensure a project starts with inspired energy and vision AND follows through with management processes that sustain and fuel the core ideas throughout the project lifecycle. Our know-how and network base extend across and add value over the full spectrum of the real estate development cycle.We are creators. We are innovators. We are leaders of change. We are passionate about our work. Since our founding in 2007, we have organically grown our own portfolio, with a completed and pipeline development value of nearly 100 mn USD. In parallel with this, we have had a much larger reach with our development management and consultancy, positively impacting projects with a combined value of well over 3 billion USD in 9 countries. We have worked with the biggest and the best in the field, and we understand systems and structures and how to work within the boundaries. But our nature is to think out-of-the-box and seek out new value curves. As a result, we are succesful realising projects that would paralyse most other developers. Show less
