Resume
Owner/Operator: January 2005 - present
UrbanDB began as an excuse to get outdoors periodically and
walk around the city streets by photographing buildings
under construction. It also served a secondary purpose as
research for a condominium purchase at the time. Since 2005
the website has grown to be a one of the most popular
Real-Estate related websites within the GTA for high-rise
construction although most of the visitors quickly grab the
information they came for and don't even realize what
they've visited.
The website earns enough in revenue to sponsor travel to
other cities for expansion of the database and keeps a
small part-time staff for data entry purposes.
