About Us

UrbanDB is an online open-content collaborative endeavour. A combined effort of volunteers and groups working together to develop a resource for high-rise construction and other urban development activities. The structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content after an efficient review process overseen by experienced editors.

Our editorial team consists of engineers, developers, real estate agents, architects, planners, photographers, students, marketers, landlords, and people with a common interest in architecture and the construction industry. UrbanDB began tracking development with in the Greater Toronto Area, with the help of volunteers it can expand coverage world wide.

Some of the data sources UrbanDB references can be found at the bottom of the building pages. Data is collected from Municipal Government documents, OMB documents, newspaper or magazine articles, and sales websites. Additional information may come from construction site observations by volunteers as well as some fact based extrapolation.

Please keep in mind that even if a specific source is listed for a piece of information, it may be incorrect or out of date as projects proposed or under construction may change over time. As work progresses on a development our information may alter or removed without notice. With prudent use UrbanDB is an excellent resource and you can help make it better by correcting any errors or filling in missing details that you find.
