OUR HISTORY...

Founded in 1991 by Gladys Margarita Diaz-Jourdain, an award winning urban designer with over ten years of experience in the New York financial services industry. The name "UrbaniZa" originated from the literal meaning of the word "urbanize" which means “to impart urban habits and ways of life”. It is the main concept around which the company developed.

UrbaniZa began as an urban design/project financing firm in 1991, providing urban planning, design and creative financing strategies to public and private clients. The company then branched out into real estate brokerage in 1999 when Ray Jourdain joined the team. Throughout the past 20 years, UrbaniZa has placed itself in the forefront of the real estate industry in South Florida.
