The Urban Land Conservancy: Fix Everything
The Urban Land Conservancy is a non-profit development group formed for the express purpose of transforming and repurposing sites in impacted urban neighborhoods and communities, projects which are not economically viable on a conventional basis.
ULC, as a non-profit development entity, brings together a variety of capitalization options unavailable to the for-profit developer. This allows it to tackle complicated projects by viewing the project through a long-term lens instead of the short term “minimize risk, get the money out” perspective conventional capital is, by its nature, bound to.
The long-term economic benefit to the agencies, municipalities, and land owners, as well social, cultural, and environmental benefits to the end users, the adjoining neighborhoods and communities as a whole are tangible and achievable.
Long-term economic value and relationships breed successful and flourishing communities. Self-sustaining development requires long term planning, design, and system implementation which measures success via multiple bottom lines: quality of life, health, productivity, minimal carbon footprint, creativity, job and business creation, housing production, nature, all combining to create vibrant, active, safe, efficient and enjoyable communities and neighborhoods.
