We were born in 1981, with a handshake and a strategic long term plan

Urbi was founded by a group of young enthusiastic entrepreneurs, with a vision of a better Mexico and with a solid philosophy established from the start; a profound knowledge of the market which we would enter, actually we form a part of it, and under a long term plan.

From the reality of our own families, we see the necessity of the creation of new communities in esthetic spaces, accessible to social interest markets. We converted this into our main goal. Those of us who started young in Urbi, have much more talent than economic resources, we studied grants for aid. Some years later, while we made postgraduate studies, Urbi was born as a result of a strategic planning exercise.

The sale of a pair of automobiles added to the savings, having a value of equivalent to 70 thousand dollars. With this amount we started operations, and it turned out to be very important to realize results in the short term. Lacking time for paper work, we agreed to start with a handshake and to rule our internal and external relationships with based on values; the same values that we had learned from our families, the only way to create an environment of trust. Later, we found the time for the formal definitions.

Our first project consisted of two projects: one of 211 houses and one of 204.

We organized Urbi as a professional company with finance areas, planning, organizational development, technique, and design, among others. Our idea was to coordinate them to be able to function as a "Swiss watch", in a way that could prove that financiers could be obtained with market funds. We accomplished it, and so opened a great market for low cost housing.
