Development

The combination of an unprecedented regional housing shortage and growing demand for urban living in the Bay Area create a unique opportunity for developers willing to adapt their business model accordingly. Enabled by our creative thinking, extensive development experience, and broad strategic relationships, UrbanMix employs a collaborative approach to real estate development that results in expedited entitlement processes, preserves affordability, delivers superior design, and champions the best that urban living has to offer.

UMD is committed to working together with communities to identify, develop and build authentic and desirable mixed use neighborhoods, in order to address our region’s housing needs and help create a more vibrant and sustainable Bay Area. We seek partners who share our values and passion for providing housing for a full spectrum of residents.

We’re passionate about improving the social fabric of our cities by creating places that are beautiful, adaptable and enjoyable. Our goal is to improve access to a diversity of people who want and deserve to call the Bay Area “home.”

“In today’s development world, every project is challenging. Challenging projects require collaborative, creative partners and that’s what we’ve found with UrbanMix.  Their “whatever it takes” attitude and relational approach has earned them the trust of public agency partners and the community.  We have witnessed this first hand as we collaborate together on the Roseland Village master plan in Sonoma County.”

I have been personally involved in ensuring that East Garrison is a success and I believe that the parters at UMD are responsible for much of the public support, good planning principles and the positive direction in which this new community is headed. We consider East Garrison to be a model for good planning and development in Monterey County, and I firmly believe that their efforts have helped to change the way we plan and develop in Monterey County for the better.
