ScaleUP, offered by Build U.P., serves as a regional resource available to U.P. communities, developers, and financial institutions. It provides education and technical assistance related to real estate development, particularly in the area of housing.

Scaleup

Because development projects are often complex and require multiple incentives to make them financially feasible, ScaleUP helps all partners navigate this process from concept to completion.

ScaleUP provides technical assistance, educational support, resources, and relationships to U.P. communities, developers, and financial institutions.
