Thoughtful Design Sets C.W. Urban Apart

Their expertise goes beyond simply building structures; they create sophisticated living spaces that integrate seamlessly into existing urban environments.

A Unique Architectural Vision for Modern Living

Ian Cahoon, a key member of the C.W. Urban team, highlights what sets them apart: “We are passionate about delivering top-notch design and staying ahead of the curve in Utah development. Our unique, contemporary architectural style caters to those who desire a vibrant urban lifestyle.”

Built by Her: A Company Rooted in Strong Values

C.W. Urban’s commitment to excellence extends beyond design. A company slogan, “built by her” is a tribute to their CEO, Darlene Carter, fostering a culture that values leadership and innovation. Project names often pay homage to remarkable women who have had significant impact in the lives of company members.

A Trusted Partner for Industry Expertise

C.W. Urban recognizes the value FOCUS brings to their projects. “We appreciate FOCUS’s extensive experience in navigating complex scenarios,” says Ian. “Their ability to understand the regulatory landscape, coupled with their collaborative approach, is invaluable. They take the time to truly comprehend our vision and develop solutions that meet our needs while satisfying regulatory requirements.”

Collaboration Creates Success: The North Point at West Point Project

A perfect example of this successful collaboration is the North Point at West Point project. During development, C.W. Urban encountered challenges in achieving a design that satisfied the community and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) regulations. FOCUS played a pivotal role by creating innovative design scenarios that addressed all concerns, paving the way for a successful project.

Building Strong Relationships, Building a Better Salt Lake Valley

The collaborative spirit extends beyond project execution. Ian emphasizes the importance of the working relationship: “We value the open communication and genuine partnership we have with FOCUS. It’s a true team effort, not just a transactional relationship.”

C.W. Urban’s commitment to high-quality urban development allows FOCUS’s expertise to shine. Together, they are shaping the future of the Wasatch Front’s urban landscape, one thoughtfully designed project at a time.
