In 1984, Aetna sold Urban Investment and Development Corporation of Chicago, to JMB Real Estate Group, for $1.4 billion.[6]

In 1993, JMB spun off its retail properties into Urban Shopping Centers, and was traded on NYSE and CSE under "URB".[7]

In 2000, Urban was purchased by Rodamco North America.[8]

In 2001, Westfield Trust bought 25% of USC and Rodamco North America. The next year, Rodamco was fully sold to Westfield, Rouse, and Simon Property Group.[9]

In May 2005, Urban was purchased in a management buyout deal, becoming a private entity.

In September 2007, RAIT Urban Holdings, LLC acquired a minority interest in Urban.

In May 2014, RAIT Financial Trust purchases Urban Retail Properties.

In September 2018, Urban becomes a private partnership firm when Forum Partners Investment, LLC purchased half of Urban from RAIT.
