Town 001 · Now Raising
A classic remedy
for modern living.
By removing the extractive costs of housing, healthcare, and education, URBAL gives you true peace of mind.
Pledge. Share your preferences.
Find your blend.
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 monthly — from $100 for a studio to $300 for a five-bedroom.
- Share what you want through Instagram and Pinterest signals.
- URBAL matches you with people who share your idea of living well.
- When the raise closes your pledge becomes a Proprietary Lease Covenant — cost locked, neighbours selected.

Business
Demand earns your spot. Results keep it.
Pledgers signal which businesses they want, and how often they would actually visit.
- The businesses with the highest verified demand earn a lease.
- You don't buy in. You compete by demonstrating the community wants you.
- You keep it by delivering — stewards vote on every commercial lease each December.
County
A $5B investment. 529s for every child.
Counties compete to host a town by adopting the URBAL Recipe.
- They offer a PILOT rate and a land Letter of Intent.
- The winner earns a $5B construction investment and the highest-value tax base in the state.
- Plus $100M split into 529 college accounts for every child in county schools.
- One county wins. One town is built.
Landowner
Fair market value. Then an annuity.
The county designates the parcel; the landowner receives a Letter of Intent.
- A county-ordered independent appraisal sets the price at fair market value for raw greenfield land — not for the town it will become.
- One transaction, one closing. The price set at the LOI does not change, and there is no renegotiation.
- After construction the land earns an ongoing annuity, at a rate the landowner sets during the raise — a rate that competes, because it is one of the factors scoring their county against every other.
Bank
Earn the performance interest — if you deliver.
Banks bid to manage the $5B construction escrow and the town's Sovereign Wealth Fund.
- Interest accrued before Labor Day is never the bank's — it sweeps into the SWF as every first-cohort steward's seed.
- What the bank competes for is the performance tranche that follows.
- Deliver on spec, on budget and on time and the bank keeps it. Miss and it is forfeited.
- The bank earns by building well, not by sitting on the float.

A different model
Not renting.
Not owning.
Stewardship. A fixed-term covenant between you and a community you helped build.
Your cost. Locked at signing. Forever.
Indexed to square footage — not the market. No landlord. No variable rate. The number you sign is the number you pay.
Tailored
for you.
25 million people. A target of 10,000 homes. Profile — not wealth — decides who gets a key.
Community selectionPeace of mind,
built in.
Health covered. Education included. Cost certain. Morning yours.
How stewardship works →Every system reinforces every other.
Car-free makes it walkable. Walkable makes it social. Social makes it safe. Stone makes it permanent.
Built to last
500 years.
The relief
One
bill. Not eleven.
Locked for your term.
Not a discount — a different structure. The things that arrive as eleven separate bills everywhere else arrive as one line here, fixed the day you sign.

What you pay here
Your monthly fee.
Every line above is inside it. The rate is set by formula, published in full, and locked at signing for the length of your term — it does not move with the market or with what your neighborhood becomes.
