What Urbane Capital does

Urbane Capital is a Connecticut-based real estate development and construction firm that operates as a division of Sachem Capital Corp., a publicly traded real estate investment trust. The company delivers full-service real estate development including residential construction, commercial buildings, and community development projects for the Northeast US market, with its headquarters at Orchard Hill Plaza in Branford, CT. Service capabilities span from conception to completion, covering design development, financial modeling, property acquisitions, construction management, and interior design. The 10-person multidisciplinary team combines backgrounds in architecture, real estate development, construction, graphic design, and marketing, led by founder Eric O'Brien who is personally embedded in both design and job-site execution.

The company's revenue model is project-based, generating fees through development services, construction execution, and property development returns. Go-to-market is sales-led, with Eric O'Brien personally leading business development and selectively targeting high-value development opportunities that align with community impact goals. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical for development engagements. Notable projects include the DISTRICT NHV approximately $20 million tech campus developed through a joint venture with Digital Surgeons (District NHV LLC), and residential projects including Casa 30, Oak House, and Wave House (the latter in collaboration with Billskog Construction). The firm has no proprietary technology platform and operates as a service-based business with project-based revenue mechanics rather than subscription or licensing models.

Urbane Capital targets property developers and investors as primary clients, alongside end-user occupants including tech startups and communities seeking design-forward environments. The company positions itself through multidisciplinary in-house capabilities and a community-focused development thesis, evidenced by its selection as preferred developer by the City of New Haven for the CT Transit bus depot redevelopment and a Comcast Business partnership to anchor a Business Innovation Lounge within its tech campus. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed and no external funding rounds are evident; the business appears equity-financed through its Sachem Capital parent rather than venture capital.
