Our Story

Urban Story Ventures stands squarely at the intersection of people-first, best-use development and audacious commercial real estate investment. By placing the needs of local communities at the forefront of every acquisition and project, we are reimagining the future of real estate in urban hotspots and up-and-coming areas.

The Next Chapter in

Commercial
Real Estate

Rooted in relationships, creativity, and purpose, Urban Story Ventures creates spaces that are unconventional, highly useful, and aesthetically inspiring. As the Southeast experiences unprecedented economic and job growth, we bring deep experience and a mindful approach to every acquisition, project, and development, as well as to leasing and property management.

Urban Story Ventures manages several hundreds of millions in assets — including office and medical buildings, retail, and industrial — and almost 3 million combined square feet of space. We carefully execute projects ranging from value-add redevelopment to speculative holds, always focusing on the who and why behind everything we do.

That’s why we handle leasing and property management in-house, ensuring consistent and high-quality service, and why we enlist top local talent and make space for big, bold ideas. We regularly collaborate with industry partners, joint venture investors, community organizations, and government entities, and our team has worked on a variety of adaptive reuse projects involving public-private partnerships, government incentives (such as TIFs, PILOTs, and opportunity zones), environmental issues, and Brownfields.

We’re committed to developing responsibly, putting tenants first, and attentively exploring community needs. Ultimately, we’re here to support local communities through activation and revitalization, elevating our tenants’ stories and giving them the space they need to thrive.Circle and Square icon
