Sectors

Our Focus Areas

Our expertise and experience span a diverse range of sectors, allowing us to confidently take on the unique challenges each project presents. 

01

Market-Rate Housing

Market-rate housing has been a specialty of URI since our inception in 2007. We understand the intricacies of integrating cutting-edge trends like mechanical parking and spa-like amenity spaces, ensuring developments feel fresh while still aligning with market demands and owner budgets.

03

Cultural Institutions

Cultural institutions such as museums, theaters, and interactive art galleries give URI the chance to demonstrate our unique ability to adapt and learn, facilitating spaces that blend innovation with heritage. We excel at navigating complex requirements so that each project reflects an institution's identity while keeping pace with evolving visitor expectations and technological advancements.

And everything else...

If it's being built, we can manage it. With years of experience in office, retail, hospitality, grocery, and industrial developments, we've partnered with some of Oregon and SW Washington's most well-known businesses to bring their vision to light.

Owners Representation from concept to completion, we integrate seamlessly into your project team as a dedicated owner’s advocate—managing coordination, tracking progress, and flagging potential issues before they become costly.

We understand that most of the owners we support already have full plates. Our job is to minimize the demands on your time—so you can stay focused on your day-to-day responsibilities, pursue new opportunities, or simply keep your head clear to assess the big picture. We handle the details so you can lead with confidence.

Solutions

What We Provide 

We offer a comprehensive array of services through all project phases, tailored to suit you. 

1

Feasibility

Dreaming up a new project is an exciting process. URI can assist with property analysis and research, review of design concepts, pro forma budgeting, and coordination with regulatory agencies or private entities.

2

Design development 

​Once the property is yours, it's time to design a building. Let us guide the RFP process for hiring an architect and any consultants. URI will monitor the design schedule and oversee contract compliance to ensure timely delivery of drawings.

3

Pre-construction

​We value planning! URI will guide the contractor selection process to fill out the project team. This is the time to look at constructability, Value Engineering ideas, work with the municipality for permitting, and coordinate upfront for smooth construction.

4

Construction

Shaping and making of your project a reality! During construction, URI stays fully involved in all aspects to get your project complete on budget and on schedule.
