Adaptive Reuse Development
In cities with the history and character of Charleston, there are times when the current use of a building becomes unfitting, but the actual building and its location are still viable with the appropriate modifications. Unlike many cities that would just as soon see that building removed and replaced, in Charleston we believe that each building plays an integral part in the fabric of this community.

The solution to this situation is Adaptive Reuse — taking a currently obsolete building, redefining its use, adapting its interior, restoring its exterior and, consequently, revitalizing the building with a thriving new purpose.

At Urban Proper, we have dedicated ourselves to understanding the local markets and what they will support; particularly in the residential, office, light retail and mixed use arenas. We also have the general contracting background to assess what needs to be done to a particular building, how to accomplish that goal, assign a cost to accomplishing that goal and carry out the plan in the most efficient way feasible.


Commercial Upfit
Your business is unique and therefore requires a unique space out of which to operate. UPR has the capability of finishing out an empty shell or completely renovating an existing space to fill your needs.

We also understand how important it is that your business look attractive and noticeable on the exterior. We can help reinvent or restore commercial facades as well as help create desirable and usable outdoor spaces.


Infill Development
Metropolitan areas are like living things: they are constantly changing and adapting to new trends and circumstances. Infill development opportunities are created when buildings have to be taken down on account of irreparable damage, sites are contaminated due to prior uses or progress creates opportunity on undeveloped sites that are currently within an already developed area.

Building in tight locations with small tolerances and, typically, high regulation is a challenge with which many developers and contractors don't want to deal. We see it as a niche to serve our clients as infill specialists-both from a market analysis standpoint as well as general contracting.

Whether our clients are looking to develop residential or small to medium-sized commercial space, UPR can help take a project from the ground, up. We also specialize in Brownfield development and understand all of the protocol associated with such an undertaking.
