Urbana's Outdoor Courtyard: Lounge, Relax, & Grill

Your Open-Air Gathering Space

Urbana’s central courtyard is an outdoor living room tucked into the heart of the community. The space opens with wide pavers, modern planters, and layers of greenery that soften the surrounding architecture. Tall evergreens, bamboo, and seasonal plantings create pockets of privacy, while the building’s balconies overlook the courtyard in a way that makes the whole area feel connected and lively. All of the landscaping is sustainably designed as part of Urbana’s LEED Gold certification, so the space feels as thoughtful as it is beautiful.

Built-in grill stations sit at the center of the action, paired with long communal tables that suit groups of any size. Nearby, a pergola frames a brick fireplace with a double-sided hearth—one side facing a lounge area with bright blue seating, the other facing the garden paths. String lights are suspended overhead, giving the courtyard a warm, welcoming glow in the evenings.

It’s the kind of setting that picks up the rhythm of the day: quiet in the morning, sociable in the evening, and always ready to be used however residents need it.
