Scott Chaplan founded the Urban Group of Companies following the recession during the early 1990s and transformed it into an integrated private equity and advisory services firm which has structured, financed, brokered, acquired, developed, rehabilitated and manages over $1 billion of multi-unit residential, mixed use, commercial and office properties throughout the United States. Many of these projects involve historic buildings which have been rehabilitated to provide affordable housing with low-income communities.

Mr. Chaplan was a pioneer in developing environmentally sustainable projects within the inner-city. Leveraging his knowledge relating to the residents’ needs within the urban community, Mr. Chaplan created a comprehensive consulting business that assists organizations and individuals in low-income communities with developing essential and sustainable business and life skills. One positive outcome is the conversion of renters into buyers of Del Rey properties.
