How CityUp! Helps
CityUp! is the community revitalization arm of DDP, transforming deconstructed properties into sustainable community assets that support workforce and economic development.
Transforming vacant and underutilized properties into new residential, commercial, and community spaces that serve the local population while eliminating urban blight.
Developing urban and vertical farms on repurposed properties to create local food sources, reduce food deserts, and promote sustainable agriculture in desert environments.
Creating job training programs and employment opportunities in construction, sustainable technology, and hospitality sectors to diversify the local economy.
Client Opportunity
Through the Donation Benefit Services Program, clients who participate in deconstruction and donation can receive ownership in the redevelopment of their donated properties. CityUp! takes deconstructed properties and transforms them into vibrant community assets - new residences, commercial spaces, schools, parks, or urban farms depending on community needs. This innovative model creates sustainable tax benefits while simultaneously revitalizing neighborhoods and creating economic opportunities.
