Urban Green Environmental

What Urban Green Environmental does

Urban Green Environmental, LLC is a woman-owned, MDOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise environmental consulting and engineering firm founded circa 2005 by Denise A. Sullivan, P.E., and headquartered at 1476 Reynolds Street, Suite 100, Baltimore, Maryland. The firm specializes in environmental due diligence, regulatory compliance, and remediation consulting for complex urban development and Brownfield redevelopment projects in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Its service portfolio is organized into four integrated lines: Environmental Due Diligence (Phase I/II ESAs, vapor intrusion assessments, soil/groundwater/indoor air sampling, transaction screens, HUD environmental reviews); Voluntary Cleanup Program (MDE VCP) navigation; Oil Control Program (OCP) services for underground storage tank management; and Land Restoration/Controlled Hazardous Substance Program (LRP/CHS) services. The firm is differentiated less by proprietary technology than by deep, decades-long regulatory relationships with the Maryland Department of the Environment and other federal, state, and local agencies, combined with rare in-house credentials (registered Professional Engineer, CHMM, NRPP radon, OSHA HAZWOPER 40-hour, MDE UST Technician-Class R).

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional services fees from B2B clients including private real estate developers, financial institutions, insurance companies, federal/state/local government agencies, and gaming/hospitality operators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, anchored by participation in Urban Land Institute Baltimore and workforce-development nonprofits (B'More Green Job Training Program, Baltimore Center for Green Careers). Notable engagements include the $101 million Anthem House redevelopment (292-unit apartment building in South Baltimore), Horseshoe Casino Baltimore (10.309-acre, 11-parcel site achieving Certificates of Completion in October 2014), and Alta Brewers Hill (5.547-acre former petroleum tank farm closed by MDE in November 2020). The firm operates with a small team of approximately 1-10 employees and is privately held with no disclosed external capital, parent company, or institutional investors.

The firm guides Baltimore-area developers, financial institutions, insurance companies, and government agencies from initial property transaction due diligence through response action plan implementation and final regulatory closure.
