Prime Urban embarked on its journey as a modest construction enterprise based in Melbourne. Founded by Martin Tissot in 1992, the company's nomenclature was derived from its commitment to delivering prestigious projects within Melbourne's burgeoning urban landscape. Martin's background in engineering, coupled with an unwavering dedication to superior craftsmanship, drove hands-on management as a licensed Master Builder and Developer.
The initial years witnessed Prime Urban gaining renown for its meticulous execution of smaller-scale projects characterized by exceptional design and finish. The focus was primarily on villa units, residential homes, and two-story townhouses. This foundational phase not only ingrained the importance of accurate project feasibility analysis but also fostered an intricate comprehension of the construction industry.

Prime Urban's inaugural projects took root in prominent locales such as Camberwell, Kew, Armadale, Malvern, and Toorak, collaborating with esteemed Melbourne architects. Establishing and nurturing a robust, dependable cadre of professional consultants and tradespeople became pivotal as project scope and complexity expanded.
Although the initial journey was not without its challenges, the company's fervour for excellence remained steadfast. Throughout, an ethos of open communication with clients prevailed – listening, comprehending, and endeavouring, whenever feasible, to integrate their unique requisites into the realization of their dream residences.

Entering the early 2000s, the maturation of Prime Urban necessitated a strategic shift towards concentrating exclusively on the developmental facet of operations. Experienced, reputable builders were enlisted to manage construction undertakings, enabling the company to focus on larger, medium-density, multi-unit developments across Melbourne.
This transformation underscored the mounting reliance on precise project feasibility analysis and meticulous curation of dedicated consultant teams, chosen for their individual expertise, insight, and capacity to meet timelines. Time emerged as a formidable adversary, heightening the significance of the company's prowess in propelling projects forward.

The ensuing decade marked a continued ascent for Prime Urban, as multi-story projects gained prominence. A discerning selection process ensured that architects were seasoned in orchestrating larger-scale, medium to high-density constructions. The company's commitment to fostering transparent and candid relationships with funding partners persevered, buoyed by unwavering support for the development pipeline.
As Prime Urban strides forward, its legacy of exceptional design, unwavering quality, and dedication to realizing the aspirations of its clientele remains indelibly etched in the fabric of Australia's property development landscape.
