dbURBAN: Multifamily Development
In this episode, Chad had the opportunity to sit down with Dustin Holt and Bryce Baker, the founders of dbURBAN Communities, and J.R. Howa with Newmark Mountain West. They covered everything multifamily, including what happened to multifamily housing during the COVID-19 pandemic, downtown Salt Lake City, and how dbURBAN got their start.
With 22 apartment communities and over 3,200 units under their belts, dbURBAN is celebrating 10 years this year. Dustin and Bryce (the D and B in dbURBAN) started this journey in 2016. Both previously worked as development directors, separately working with UTA. They decided they were going to take a different approach to development and do things differently than what everyone else was doing.
dbURBAN Communities builds multifamily communities geared towards the renter. They use data to fill the void left in the area. They focus on urban infill, utilizing infrastructure that already exists. They strive to enhance the area with their multifamily developments. dbURBAN Communities focuses on rent-by-lifestyle choice, which allows for communities that are more unique with high-quality amenities with additional embellishments within the living spaces.
