UrbanARCH Associates

What UrbanARCH Associates does

UrbanARCH Associates, PC is a privately held, Memphis-based professional architecture and planning firm operating as a Tennessee professional corporation from its headquarters at 498 South Main Street in downtown Memphis. The firm delivers comprehensive architecture services across the full project lifecycle — concept design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration — for clients in the Mid-South region, primarily Tennessee and Mississippi. Its core technology is conventional architectural practice grounded in sustainable design methodology and project management discipline; no proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or digital platform products are part of the offering.

The firm serves a horizontally diversified client base spanning government/municipal, healthcare, commercial/retail/hospitality, education, residential, and industrial/corporate sectors. Notable clients include the State of Tennessee, City of Memphis, Memphis Shelby County Airport Authority, University of Memphis, DeSoto County Schools, MOGA (Memphis Obstetrics & Gynecological Association), Loeb Properties, Boyle Investment Group, and Ashley Furniture. Signature projects include the Memphis Airport Concourse B Modernization (183,000 sf, completed in association with Alliiance), Hotel Napoleon (adaptive reuse of a 110-year-old building into a 58-room boutique hotel, 2019 AIA Memphis Design Award winner), Four98 South Main (2014 AIA-Memphis Award of Excellence), and The Provost (92-unit multifamily community in Southaven, MS).

The business model is project-based professional services billing, with engagements secured through client relationships, RFP processes, and portfolio-driven reputation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized per project. The firm is sales-led, relying on direct project engagement rather than a scaled marketing or inside-sales motion. Marketing channels are limited to a website portfolio (uarch.com) and earned credibility through AIA awards. The firm has no disclosed funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no disclosed leadership changes in the source data.
