Urban Intent

Urban Intent LLC is a U.S. real estate development and operating company based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that focuses on mixed-use and multifamily residential real estate projects in urban neighborhoods. The firm develops and delivers residential rental properties designed to integrate walkability, community-oriented design, and urban lifestyle amenities, contributing to neighborhood revitalization and increased housing supply in areas such as Fishtown and Olde Kensington in Philadelphia.

Urban Intent’s portfolio includes several recently completed or soon-to-open apartment communities such as The Americana and Copper Flats (totaling nearly 198 units) and boutique buildings like 171 W. Berks Street. These projects typically incorporate modern design, amenity spaces, and proximity to public transit and local retail, reflecting a development emphasis on creating vibrant, transit-oriented urban living environments.

The firm’s roots are tied to the Scannapieco Development Corporation, a long-established Philadelphia real estate development company known for luxury residential, mixed-use, and urban redevelopment projects. Urban Intent leverages that development expertise to execute mid-size urban multifamily projects, though detailed investor performance disclosures are not published on the public site.
