Tim Welsh & Urban Vision

UrbanVision is a design oriented architectural practice that develops socially and environmentally conscious buildings. The objective of the company is to revitalize cities core urban neighborhoods.

"Tim Welsh is founder and president of Urban Vision Properties and Timothy Welsh Architects. He is a developer and a registered architect in the states of Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Indiana, and South Carolina.

Tim is also co-founder of the architectural firm Meyers Welsh Architects which formed the sub company Urban Vision two years ago. The intent of that company was to create investment opportunities for clients, experiment with new ideas, and create new design opportunities for the architecture practice. Urban Vision has grown to the point that it needed dedicated focus and attention. As a result and after careful consideration Tim sold his interest in Meyers Welsh Architects and purchased full ownership of Urban Vision.

Timothy Welsh Architects was then formed as the new entity in which to practice Architecture. Urban Vision is currently the developer and lead Architect for the Terraces on Walhalla, Say Avenue Commons, and Kossuth Green.” - urbanvision.cc
