Sustainable urban development · Miami
Smarter places to live together.
Urban IQ is a development consultancy helping landowners, municipalities and investors turn sites into resilient, livable communities that create value for everyone involved.
The challenge
Cities are changing faster than the way we plan them.
Demographic change, the move from rural areas into metropolitan regions and the climate crisis are reshaping how people live, work and move. Every community now faces urgent questions about housing, mobility, local economy and employment.
We believe sustainable urban development doesn’t happen by waiting. It needs a clear strategy, the right partners, and a plan that makes a site attractive and vibrant again for the people who use it.
Our approach
Every project is shaped by its place.
We don’t bring a standard design to a site. We start with the land itself and develop what fits it, whether that means renewing an existing area, creating a completely unique new place, or building an independent community that supplies itself.
01
Fit the place
Every piece of land is developed to fit its environment: the landscape, the climate, the neighborhood and the people who live there.
02
Unique by design
No two sites are alike, so no two projects are. We create completely unique places, from revitalized neighborhoods to new communities on open land.
03
Self-sufficient
Many of our projects supply themselves with their own energy, water and resources, so they can stand on their own, independent of outside networks.
What we do
Development is our core.
More than 30 years of sustainable real estate development across Europe, North and South America and Africa, from the first site analysis to a finished community.
Sustainable project development
Residential and commercial projects planned from the land up: natural building, energy self-sufficient properties and forward-looking usage concepts that take a location to the next level.
Municipal development processes
Guidance for cities and communities through planning, approvals and stakeholder coordination, so public land is developed with a clear, lasting purpose.
Partners & financing
We bring together landowners, investors and partners who want sustainability firmly embedded in their portfolio, with new approaches to structuring and funding each project.
Our tools
The tools inside every development
These are the building blocks we bring into our projects, chosen for each place and combined to make it work better.
IQ Mobility
All-electric mobility sharing for each building, with its own app and a pay-as-you-ride membership for bikes, scooters, cars and boats, plus charging for every vehicle.
IQ Housing Solutions
Affordable housing, rapid-set-up housing after disasters, tiny houses, housing-first programs and adaptive re-use, chosen to match local needs.
IQ Tec
Smart home automation, renewable energy, security, fire and water alarms, and LoRaWAN sensor networks for smart cities, agriculture and asset tracking.
IQ Planet Protection
Urban-Change-Management: technology and sustainable solutions that combat climate change and support disaster mitigation and recovery.
The concept
Living Together
Living Together is our model for communities where homes, work, mobility, energy and nature are planned as one system rather than separate projects.
The result is a neighborhood people want to stay in: walkable, efficient, connected to its surroundings, and built to hold its value for residents and investors over the long term.
