 | UPA Development was set in motion in 2004 by Mr. Davis in an effort to preserve much needed affordable housing in Chicago. Currently Mr. Davis has more than $50 million dollars worth of projects underway that range from affordable and mixed-income housing to market rate and retail developments. These investments involve partnerships with local housing authorities, IHDA, the City of Chicago, private equity sources, and local not-for-profits. UPA Development is actively growing in 2007, working to expand the development and acquisition portfolio throughout the Chicagoland area and specifically into more rural markets. UPA Development is proud to provide organizational capacity, financial guarantees and community-based vision to the dire need for affordable living across the Chicagoland area and State of Illinois. UPA Development works closely with community development corporations and social service based non profit organizations to efficiently turn mission-based housing goals into fully occupied and heavily leveraged homes where residents, owners and community leaders all take stake. UPA provides high quality living experiences through considerate and smart development in addition to responsive management services that address tenant needs and neighborhood concerns. UPA, as community developers and managers weave the properties into the fabric of their communities. |
