Urban Abodes custom web development and design client

Chicago’s Largest Landlord

Urban Abodes is the industry leader in apartment leasing and boasts the largest selection of quality apartment rentals in all of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Geeks Chicago built the last iteration of the Urban Abodes website back in 2011. With its success, and the landlord’s rapidly growing inventory, Urban Abodes asked Geeks Chicago to scale

the infrastructure into a new and even more robust marketing and CRM platform to handle Urban Abodes needs for increased automation in its sales and client / landlord management.
