Urban Outline Building Group

Jacked about our latest project in the GTA - first of it's kind.

Can't wait to reveal more details upon opening.

Urban Outline is pleased to roll out our Spring 2021 update.

Before we do that though - I feel compelled to say how extraordinarily grateful Urban Outline is to our subs, in house team, design partners, PM partners, landlord partners, architects and engineering partners. These times have obviously been tough for everyone - especially those of us in office space build-outs. We are forever grateful that as a community we have been able to support each other, help each other and sometimes, just listen to each other. We will weather the storm, together. We already are.

Urban Outline is a seasoned commercial construction management and general contracting firm specializing in office space build-outs 45,000 square feet and under.
