Town 001 · Now Raising
A classic remedy
for modern living.

How it works
Five parties. One town.
URBAL is a rewards-based crowdfunding platform. Five parties match, a monthly raise closes, and construction begins on a car-free, one-square-mile stone town — built around your preferences.
01
Pledger
Your ideal community. Your terms.
Pledge your monthly amount — from $100 for a Studio to $300 for a 5-bedroom. Share preferences through Instagram and Pinterest signals. URBAL uses your signal data to match you with a community built around people who share your vision for what living well looks like. When the raise closes, your pledge converts to a Proprietary Lease Covenant — your cost is locked, your neighbors were selected.

Business
Demand earns your spot. Results keep it.
Pledgers signal which businesses they want inside the town — how often they'd visit a given café, tailor, or clinic. The businesses with the highest verified demand from pledgers earn a lease. You don't buy in. You compete for it by demonstrating the community wants you. You keep it by delivering: stewards vote every December on every commercial lease. The community's demand decides who's in.
County
A $5B investment. 529s for every child.
Counties compete to host an URBAL town by adopting the URBAL Recipe — offering a favorable pilot rate and a land Letter of Intent. The winning county earns a $5B construction investment, the highest-value tax base in the state, and $100M split into 529 college savings accounts for every child in county schools. One county wins. One town is built.
Landowner
Market rate plus 20%. Then an annuity.
The county designates the land parcel. The landowner receives the Letter of Intent at market rate plus 20% — a premium no conventional sale offers. Settlement is one transaction, one closing. After construction, the landowner earns a 30-year annuity from URBAL town — an ongoing revenue stream tied to the lasting value the town creates on what was once their land.
Bank
Keep the interest on $5B — if you deliver.
Banks bid to manage the $5B construction escrow and URBAL's Sovereign Wealth Fund. The winning bank keeps all interest generated on the $5B if construction is delivered on time and within budget. If not, the interest goes to URBAL. The structure aligns bank incentives directly with the community's: deliver, and you earn. Miss, and you don't.
