We work on master plans for towns and cities that combine a strategic development vision with a set of priority projects which can be implemented jointly by the authorities and businesses. City master plans are based on research results which are conducted during the previous stage.

City master plan is the basis for the most demanded development projects in the urban area:

• Commercial real estate development;
• Development of tourist and recreational facilities;
• Residential development;
• Development of social infrastructure;
• Development of public spaces.

An important role for comprehensive development of small industrial towns belongs to the new industrial zones and industrial parks.

Development concepts for industrial facilities are based on:

• Results of market research and major trends in industrial real estate development;
• Comprehensive urban development analysis;
• Negotiation with authorities, banks, developers and business community.

Concepts for the industrial facility development include:

• Planning layouts and architectural design;
• Assessment of required utilities and transportation infrastructure, possible network connection options;
• Financial modeling.

Regional cities and towns are facing a shortage of quality retail and office facilities. Urban Pro specialists have experience in developing concepts for shopping malls, business centers and regional corporate headquarters — independently and in partnership with leading commercial real estate consultants.

Development concepts for commercial real estate are based on:

• Results of market research and major trends in retail and office real estate development;
• Comprehensive urban development analysis;
• Negotiation with authorities, banks, developers and business community.

Commercial real estate development concepts include:

• Search for the best available site and land best use analysis;
• Planning layouts and architectural design;
• Financial modeling.

Tourism development is an important way to diversify the local economy, taking into account local and external demand. Tourist infrastructure development projects are often supported in framework of corporate and government programs. Urban Pro specialists are experienced in developing appropriate concepts — independently and in partnership with leading experts in the industry.

Development concepts for touristic and recreational facilities are based on:

• Results of market research and major trends in tourism sector;
• Comprehensive analysis of touristic and recreational potential of the territory;
• Negotiation with authorities, banks, developers and business community.

Tourist resort and recreation area development concepts include:

• Tourist routes schemes. Search for the best available site;
• Planning layouts and architectural design;
• Financial modeling.

Residential development solutions are based on demand assessment and comprehensive urban planning analysis. We offer contemporary planning and architectural solutions, consistent with existing demand and best local and international city building practices.

Development concepts for residential districts include:

• Solutions for individual, lowrise and high rise buildings;
• Related social infrastructure objects;
• Commercial services;
• Elements of landscaping;
• Transportation scheme.

In order to ensure the project’s investment attractiveness, the concept of development of the residential complex is prepared by using financial modeling tools.
Solutions for the development of new buildings, as well as for the reconstruction of existing residential districts can be elaborated considering all modern requirements for energy efficiency.

By involving expert partners in the project, it is possible to carry out a survey of existing buildings, energy modeling, and preparation of engineering solutions that meet the target level of energy efficiency of the building.

The life quality in a modern urban area depends on the availability of social services, which can be used by residents. Urban Pro experts have experience in development concepts for schools, kindergartens, professional and additional education facilities, health care and social protection, culture and leisure, multifunctional socio-cultural centers.

For social infrastructure projects we strive to:

• Preserve the basic functionality of the building;
• Increase the efficiency of building area utilization through the introduction of additional functions demanded by the residents;
• Form an attractive and modern image of the object due to its upto-date design.

Social infrastructure facility concept includes:

• Effective organization of building area;
• Exterior and interior design solutions for key public spaces;
• Ideas for the landscaping of the adjacent area.

Most regional towns face a shortage of modern and attractive public spaces. In the last few years, opportunities to implement projects to improve parks, public gardens, embankments, squares and boulevards have increased significantly due to the implementation of state programs to create a comfortable urban space.

When working with public spaces, we strive to:

• Be based on the territory’s potential, demanded types of activity, and available budget opportunities;
• Consider the opinions of the residents gathered during sociological research and participatory projecting sessions;
• Form an attractive and modern image of the space through upto-date design.

As part of the concept preparation, the following are worked out:

• Planning solutions, scenarios for the use of the space;
• Small architectural forms, coatings, landscaping elements;
• Visualization based on 3D modeling.

Due to high wear and tear, high rise buildings require modernization in many cities. In framework of the concept, solutions are being developed to improve energy efficiency, the external design of residential buildings, local area, develop legal mechanisms and an investment model for territory renovation.
