Meet the faces behind ULC.
In the early 2000s, philanthropist Sam Gary saw that Denver had a need for an urban land bank that would acquire, create and preserve community-serving real estate assets. He founded ULC for the express purpose of uplifting underserved communities and families through the use of innovative, equitable real estate practices.
