REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER

Alon is a design-centric real estate developer. He restores historic buildings so people can live inside them. And work. And talk to the ghosts. Legally, there are no ghosts. He is the Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Urban Conversions, a development company impassioned to give a second life to 100-year-old architectural treasures by transforming them into vibrant, modern spaces with impeccable interior design. Does that make him a Saint? Not for me to judge. But Saint Clay, the Patron Saint of Brick Laying, does not convert that old downtown church into a modern, mixed-income condominium for notoriety, nor money, nor the satisfaction of when one of the “good ghosts” is released from this earthly plane into a realm of peace. He does it because sometimes it bears reminding that none of our stories are truly ever finished being told. Legally, there are no ghosts. 

WELCOME TO URBAN CONVERSIONS

Redefining Construction and Development


At Urban Conversions, we break away from the norm. As seasoned builders and savvy developers, we bring a dual perspective to every project, ensuring not just the creation of stunning spaces but also sound financial outcomes. Why? Because we know firsthand that in development, every dollar counts. That's why we don't just work for you; we work with you as partners, invested in your success as deeply as our own.
 

Our Core Philosophy

 

Thinking Like Owners, Building Like Partners
Forget the traditional contractor-developer relationship. Here at Urban Conversions, we live by our BILYOI—Build-It-Like-You-Own-It—philosophy. This mindset shifts everything. It means we obsess over budgets and timelines not just because it's good business, but because we see each project as if it were our own investment. We use smart technology not just to keep things transparent, but to ensure that every decision, every action, and every penny spent is geared towards maximizing the project's value and success.
 

Building Smarter


Developer’s Insight, Builder’s Precision
As builders who think like developers, we bring financial rigor and strategic foresight to every nail driven and every concrete poured. We're not just putting up structures; we're crafting investments. This means predicting challenges before they arise, optimizing resources, and always looking for ways to deliver more for less.
 

Developing with Care

 

Acting Like Owners, Every Step of the Way
Our development projects are guided by a builder’s meticulous attention to detail. From integrating community feedback through our proprietary technology to planning for long-term sustainability, we build with a focus on enhancing not just property value but also community welfare. By thinking like builders during the development phase, we ensure that our projects are not only aesthetically pleasing but are built to last and perform financially.

 

Building the Future, Together

 

With Urban Conversions, you get more than a construction or development company; you get a partner who's as committed to the success of your project as you are. Join us as we turn the construction and development industry on its head, proving that when everyone thinks and acts like an owner, every project becomes a shared mission of success and excellence.
Let’s build something extraordinary together. Not just because we can, but because we believe it’s the only way to build.
