About urbanbubble

Nurturing thriving communities

Where we were

urbanbubble was founded with a vision to do things differently.

Our founder, Michael Howard, recognised that buildings are more than just walls—they’re places where people live, connect and communities thrive.

Driven by a passion to create a better living experience through excellent customer service, Michael set out to change the way property management is done.

At urbanbubble, our focus on putting people, clients and residents first has always been our north star.

Where we are

Today, we’re proud to be a property management company that truly cares. Our commitment to our residents is at the heart of everything we do.

We go beyond simply managing properties; we create environments where people feel secure, valued, and truly at home.

Our work is driven by the belief that home isn’t just where you live—it’s where you belong.

Where we are going

We aim to be the greatest property management company, constantly improving and innovating to provide the best customer experience and living environments possible.

Our goal is to support and nurture more communities and continue creating spaces where residents feel like they’re part of something special.

As we grow, our focus will remain the same: to put our people, clients and residents first, always.

Our story

Our community. Our people.

At urbanbubble, it is our people who make the difference.

We are a hardworking, passionate, and professional team dedicated to supporting residents, investors, and partners every step of the way.

Our mission is to set the standard for residential property management, providing exceptional service that goes beyond expectations. By putting people first and delivering professional support in an approachable way, we aim to create homes where residents feel valued and cared for.

We’re not just managing properties – we’re making our cities better places to live.
