URBAN LICENSING & DEVELOPMENT

Regulatory Excellence for Urban and Rural Projects

At Urbaken, we don’t see licenses as “paperwork”.
We see them as the strategic gateway that determines whether a project is approved, delayed or blocked.

Our team brings together urban planners, engineers, legal experts and data-driven analysts with experience in Colombian regulations, regional planning frameworks and local authority procedures.
From small developments to large-scale projects, we manage the entire licensing journey with precision, speed and full compliance.

🧭 Full Urban Licensing Management

From first idea to final approval — we handle it all.

We take care of the complete licensing process in front of curadurías urbanas and planning authorities, so you can focus on designing and financing your project.

What we do for you:

  • Initial feasibility and regulatory analysis to understand what is truly allowed on your land.
  • Preparation, compilation and verification of all technical, legal and architectural documents required.
  • Coordination between architects, engineers, surveyors and legal advisors to align the entire file.
  • Direct handling of submissions, clarifications and responses with curadurías and planning departments.
  • Continuous monitoring of the process to reduce delays, rejections and unnecessary observations.

Ideal for developers, construction companies, investors and families who want their projects approved the right way, the first time.



🏗️ New Construction License

The legal green light to build with confidence.

Before any residential, commercial or mixed-use project can break ground, the construction license must be crystal clear and fully compliant.

How Urbaken supports your project:

  • Review of architectural and structural designs to ensure they match regulatory requirements.
  • Alignment with land-use plans (POT), zoning rules, density, heights and occupation parameters.
  • Coordination of all supporting studies (environmental, mobility, risk, public services, etc.) when required.
  • Submission and follow-up of the license request until official approval is granted.
  • Guidance on modifications, renewals or adjustments if the project evolves over time.

Result: You start construction with a solid legal foundation, reducing the risk of sanctions, suspensions or redesigns.


🌱 Rural & Urban Subdivision License

Turn land into opportunity — legally and strategically.

Whether in an urban area, expansion zone or rural territory, subdividing land requires technical precision and regulatory clarity.

What we do:

  • Analysis of current and allowed land uses, minimum areas, frontage and subdivision rules.
  • Technical design of the parceling, redistribution or segmentation according to your business model.
  • Preparation of plans, reports and supporting documents required by local authorities.
  • Processing of the subdivision license before the competent entities.
  • Coordination of registry updates so that each new parcel is legally recognized and ready for sale, development or financing.

Perfect for landowners, developers and investors who want to unlock the full potential of their land without legal surprises.



🏛️ Restoration & Intervention License

Protecting the past while building the future.

Heritage and special buildings demand a higher level of care, expertise and respect for regulations.

How Urbaken adds value:

  • Identification of the property’s heritage status, restrictions and applicable protection rules.
  • Coordination with architects specialized in conservation and restoration.
  • Preparation of intervention proposals that balance preservation with functionality and commercial objectives.
  • Licensing procedures before heritage councils, cultural entities and planning authorities.
  • Ongoing guidance to ensure that the execution of works remains fully aligned with approved licenses.

Ideal for owners, institutions and developers working with historic centers, emblematic buildings or protected structures.



🧨 Demolition License

When it’s time to demolish, it must be 100% legal.

Demolition isn’t just about taking down a structure — it’s about doing it safely, responsibly and in full compliance with local regulations.

What we manage for you:

  • Verification of property status, structural conditions and neighboring risks.
  • Preparation of technical reports and demolition plans required by authorities.
  • Processing of full or partial demolition permits before curadurías and planning departments.
  • Guidance on safety, signaling, debris management and urban impact mitigation.
  • Alignment with future project plans, ensuring that demolition is the first correct step toward redevelopment.

Result: You avoid fines, stoppages and complaints, and execute demolition as a controlled, legal and strategic action.



🏠 Legalization of Built Areas

Bring reality and regulation into full alignment.

Many constructions exist “as built” but not “as legalized”.
We help you regularize, update and legalize built areas so they match what authorities and registries recognize.

What we do:

  • Diagnosis of current built conditions vs. approved licenses and official records.
  • Design and legal strategy to regularize additions, modifications or previous informal works.
  • Preparation of plans, technical studies and legal documentation required for legalization.
  • Filing and management of legalization requests with competent authorities.
  • Coordination of updates to cadastre, registry and municipality records, aligning documentation with reality.

Result: Your property becomes fully legal, better valued and easier to sell, finance or develop, with fewer legal risks.
