Serving Chicago Communities and Charities Since 1986.

Founded in 1986, URB, Inc. has grown into a family of real estate professionals, businesses, and services.

The Urban Renewal Project Chicago originated as an idea (Project) by URB, Inc. to generate attention to the value of donating distressed and abandoned Chicago (Urban) real estate that can be renovated to bring back the vibrancy (Renewal) of a community while doing good for charitable causes.

Over the years, there has been consideration of changing the Urban Renewal Project to a name that may relate to more real estate donors.

However, Urban Renewal Project Chicago remains very relevant to this day with each unwanted or abandoned residential, retail, and commercial property that is renovated will aid in rejuvenating a community.
