Urban Spaces LLC is a privately held real estate development firm headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, operating since its founding in October 2004—now over 20 years. The company maintains a lean team of 2–10 employees, managing mid‑sized residential and commercial projects. Recent portfolio highlights include the $95 million "Kendall East" mixed‑use development featuring 136 residential units, nearly 15,000 ft² of street‑level retail, a 142‑space underground garage and 150+ bicycle spots, built along Cambridge’s First Street Corridor. Over the past 7 years, Urban Spaces assembled ten properties on that corridor, including a 115‑unit building with ~3,800 ft² retail (completed June 2015), a 5‑story 51,500 ft² Class A office project with 6,700 ft² retail (Sept 2018), and a 10,000 ft² standalone retail conversion (Sept 2019). Projects also extend into Boston, such as a 180‑unit micro‑housing development averaging 350 ft² per unit, noted as the U.S.’s largest micro‑unit building at its launch in 2016. Urban Spaces focuses on urban infill developments—residential, commercial, mixed‑use, and affordable housing—typically located near transit, universities, and employment centers.
