About the Firm
Founded by Matilde Malagola, Architect and Residential Advisor
Urban Selection is an independent buyer-side advisory practice operating at the intersection of architecture and real estate. We assist private clients and investors in identifying and evaluating residential properties through a rigorous architectural and strategic lens. Our role is to support informed decision-making — from opportunity sourcing and spatial assessment to independent due diligence and coordination with the client's appointed legal and transactional advisors. We do not act as intermediaries and do not represent sellers.

Discretion
The most relevant properties are rarely the most visible.
They emerge through relationships — not exposure. Through trust — not volume.
Discretion is not an added quality of the service. It is part of its structure.
