Annual Report and Accounts 2025

Urban&Civic was founded 15 years ago on a dual conviction. First, that meeting housing need required an increased contribution from large, amenity led, properly infrastructured new sites. Second, that the many naysayers that said sustainable and vibrant new communities could not be brought forward successfully were just plain wrong. Our company is proud of the quality we have delivered through working in partnership, always with integrity and innovation. Looking forward, we have the experience and an absolute passion to do more.
