The Arbor Project is reimagining main street.

Growing cities face many challenges. Technology can help, but people can’t afford to wait. So we’re creating a new type of place to accelerate urban innovation and serve as a beacon for emerging cities around the world.


The Arbor Project combines forward-thinking urban design and cutting-edge technology to reimagine main street.

We started with the mission to transform a boarded-up building on Main Street into a hub for nonprofits and social entreprenuers that would power the next generation of our city’s growth.

Then we cultivated a coalition of industry, academic, and community leaders to create a shared vision for Downtown Merced that achieves new standards of sustainability, affordability, and economic opportunity.

now we’re building off that infrastructure by incubating companies Developing products and services that can scale to other cities around the world.
