架构师提供的文本描述。每天，全世界有18万人搬到这个城市。所有这些人都需要一个地方住。但随着需求上升，租金不断上升，使得年轻人和中产阶级几乎不可能找到既负担得起又能满足现代城市居民需求的出租住房。在一个以灵活性、社区性和可持续性为特征的时代，现有的出租住房越来越不能满足现代的需求。

Text description provided by the architects. Every day, 180,000 people around the world move to the city. And all those people need a place to live. But with rising demand comes rising rent, making it virtually impossible for young potentials and the middle class to find rental housing that is not only affordable, but also caters to the needs of the modern urban citizen. In a time characterised by flexibility, community and sustainability, the available rental- housing increasingly fails to meet modern-day demands.

因此，在2009年，铁州接触混凝土开发了一个更好的租赁住房产品，为纽约的人口稠密地区。在这种情况下，“更好”被定义为一种产品，它能更好地满足现代城市居民的需要，提供更高的性价比，并促进一种更积极的生活方式。混凝土和铁州联合起来，不久，乌尔比诞生了。一个独特的住宅概念，提供溢价价值的次溢价率和真正的联系生活经验。

And so in 2009, Concrete was approached by Ironstate to develop a better rental-housing product for New York’s densely populated areas. ‘Better’ in this context was defined as a product that more adequately meets the needs of the modern urban resident, offers higher value for the money and facilitates a more positive way of living. Concrete and Ironstate joined forces and before long, Urby was born. A unique residential concept that offers premium value at sub-premium rates and a truly connected living experience.

Urby是一个整体的住房概念，为居民提供的远远超过居住小区。也就是说，混凝土首先关注的是本质：公寓。设计团队创造了小型(工作室)、中型(一居室)和大型(两居室)单元.为了测试功能、流程和设置，在泽西岛的一个仓库里建造了几套模拟公寓。2012年，混凝土和铁州公司在泽西城建成了一座48单元的大楼，并开始出租这些公寓，以衡量市场反应和收集用户反馈。三套公寓一直保持着测试的目的，直到今天，为了不断地微调布局，完成和固定装置。与此同时，2011年，混凝土开始在Urby Staten岛项目上工作，将测试大楼的学习内容应用到第一座正式的Urby大楼。

Urby is a holistic housing concept that offers residents much more than living quarters. That said, Concrete started out with focusing on the essence: the apartments. The design team created Small (studio), Medium (one-bedroom) and Large (two-bedroom) units. In order to test functionality, flow and setup, several mock-up apartments were built in a Jersey warehouse. In 2012, Concrete and Ironstate completed a 48-unit building in Jersey City and started renting the apartments out to gauge market response and collect user feedback. Three apartments have been kept on for testing purposes to this day, in order to constantly fine-tune layouts, finishes and fixtures. Meanwhile in 2011, Concrete started working on the Urby Staten Island project, applying the learnings from the test building to the first official Urby building.

Urby Staten岛项目包括900多套出租公寓，其中571套已在第一阶段完成。今年秋天，其余340套公寓开始施工。靠近斯塔顿岛的乌尔比也将出现在城市附近的其他地区。今年年底，拥有763套公寓的泽西城69层塔楼将开放，而厄比·哈里森(450套公寓)的建设正在进行中，乌比·斯坦福德将于秋季开工。目前正在对纽约及其周围的其他地点进行设计调查。

The Urby Staten Island project consists of more than 900 rental apartments, 571 of which have been completed in phase 1. This fall, construction begins on the remaining 340 apartments. Next to Staten Island Urby will be present in other areas close to the city as well. End of the year the 69 story tower of Urby Jersey City with 763 apartments will open, while construction of Urby Harrison (450 apartments) is on it’s way and Urby Stamford will start construction in fall. Other sites in and around New York are currently under design investigation.
