URG was founded in 2006 with the core belief that the renaissance of cities and the creation of place in suburbs represented a fundamental shift in the American landscape. This shift opened unique opportunities to shape the built environment with an emphasis on placemaking. Their deep market knowledge and keen understanding of these trends allowed them to acquire, lease, develop and manage properties in a way that better serves their communities. As a nose-to-the-grindstone start-up, they were honored to team with the renowned Joshua Green Corporation (JGC) to reinvent their building headquarters. The project won NAIOP’s Historic Renovation of the Year and inspired JGC to make a significant investment in our company. Another growth milestone came with their acquisition of the real estate development firm Touchstone, known for their innovative urban development. Adding that experience to their roster allows them to take on even more complex projects.
