Urban Investment Advisors

Urban Investment Advisors provides investment, advisory and sub‑advisory services exclusively for real estate to high‑net‑worth individuals, partnerships, limited liability companies, trusts, non‑profit organizations and pension plans. The firm sources and analyzes real estate opportunities and works with clients to structure investments through single‑asset vehicles, limited partnerships, private REITs and pooled funds, including post‑closing management and reporting.

UIA’s investment approach emphasizes a structured due‑diligence framework, macroeconomic and regional analysis, and selection of experienced operating partners and fund managers, with a particular focus on metropolitan markets. The firm develops customized long‑term strategic plans with each client, meets at least annually to update objectives, and provides ongoing monitoring and quarterly asset‑management reports.

Distinctive for its category, UIA reported approximately $2.45 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, all managed on a non‑discretionary basis, and it frequently operates through sub‑advisory and services agreements with other advisory firms (including Regis Metro Associates, Inc. and Metropolitan Asset Advisors, Inc.). UIA’s client mix includes pension and corporate clients and it provides services to other registered advisers, practices that are less common among peers in its investment‑manager peer group.
