Multi Urban Developments takes time necessary to fully understand the circumstances, intention and specific requirements of our client / property owner. We establish a sharp focus on the objective and a clear understanding of realistic time frames and cost to reach that objective.

At Multi Urban we recognize that every development is a marketing exercise and, from the earliest stages of the development process, we determine the image, character and public face of the project and devise a marketing strategy framework.

We know that, integral to the very character of the project is the architecture. For this reason we ensure consistency in overall styling, detailing and the incorporation of appropriate features to create a product that the target market wants to live in, work in and, in all ways, be associated with.

With this understanding, we have developed a strong and creative, in house, architectural capacity or, where necessary, we choose the right consulting architects to work with in creating the right marketing image.

We create a Site Development Plan (SDP) as the basis for co-ordinating site conditions, town planning and local authority requirements together with water, sewer, communications and electricity supply services.

From the SDP, we determine the achievable extent (use zone, density, coverage etc.) of the development which, together with knowledge of the target market, enables us to set out a feasibility and viability report, to make adjustments to the concept where necessary and to move forward with realistic and informed expectations.

Having determined the steps to achieve the finished product, we prepare a detailed program identifying critical path activities and concurrent processes providing the fastest, most efficient and cost effective route to reach our goal.
