Urban Works has had the opportunity to work with some of the best local, regional and national Landlords, Developers and Tenants. Here is what some of them are saying about us:

"Craig and Dan have consistently aided Starbucks to identify over two hundred primary real estate locations and negotiated complicated lease transactions in a professional and confidential manner.  Their market knowledge of competitors, planned developments, transportation, suburban/urban neighborhoods and collateral materials has helped us achieve our targeted store development objectives.  Over the years, Urban Works has demonstrated a strong work ethic, attention to detail and a commitment to our success, as illustrated in their comprehensive reports, tenant analysis, maps, aerials and timely real estate tours."

Starbucks Coffee Company

"Urban Works was instrumental in helping us in the transformation of our building on SE 28th & Pine from a former paint store into a multi-tenant retail building. They helped us with everything from the planning process to procuring great tenants and negotiated favorable lease terms on our behalf. We were so impressed, we hired them to sell a different building & adjacent commercial land we owned in North Portland. Once again, we were impressed with their work and give them a glowing recommendation!"

Reworks, Inc

"I highly recommend Kathleen Healy & the rest of the Urban Works team. I originally met Kathleen in 2007 when she contacted me about a restaurant opportunity in the Pearl District, as well as several subsequent opportunities. She then approached me about an opportunity at Hotel Modera -Nel Centro was born! Kathleen handled herself professionally throughout the transaction. She is organized, determined, knowledgeable and thorough!"

David Machado, Restaurateur

"Opus Northwest hired Urban Works to exclusively represent the Ladd Tower retail condo units last year. All of the retail units except one were sold before the project was complete.  Urban Works continues to market our last remaining space. They are also leasing the retail portion of the PARK19 project.  Kathleen & Ashley are professional, hard working and a pleasure to work with!"

"Hoyt Street Properties has worked with Urban Works Real Estate to successfully transform a portion of the Pearl District from an industrial rail yard and warehouse district to a thriving nationally recognized retail and restaurant destination. We consider Urban Works a partner in securing a strong mix of retailers that attract residents, locals and visitors to our retail properties.
 
Hoyt Street Properties has benefited from our continued relationship with Urban Works Real Estate on numerous levels. Their market knowledge and understanding of Portland’s urban retail environment is excellent.  Their attention to detail is exhibited in their comprehensive reporting, pre- qualification of prospective tenants, presentation and most importantly, the overall results."

“Craig Sweitzer and Ashley Heichelbech with Urban Works Real Estate have added significant value, attention to detail and have been a pleasure to work with on the retail leasing efforts at Fremont Place. We look forward to continuing our professional relationship with the Urban Works team.”
Stan Amy and Neel Pender, New Villages Group, Ltd.

"Williams & Dame Development, along with our development partners, considers Urban Works an invaluable resource in helping to create a healthy mix of the retail storefronts in the South Waterfront neighborhood. We intend to continue working together to further achieve a "local and organic" retail experience as we move forward with future properties in the district.  Prior to construction, Urban Works demonstrated unique dedication to the South Waterfront project in 2003 and 2004 by attending preliminary public/private partnership meetings, design charettes, public meetings and open houses with City officials, public municipalities, private businesses and the development partners. Urban Works brought a refreshing, yet experienced retail perspective to the discussions. This, in turn, proved to be helpful with pre-construction floor plan layouts, green way development and basic neighborhood infrastructure planning."

Homer Williams, Williams & Dame Development
