SELECTED BUILT WORK BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND YiELD

 I have had the pleasure of working with Ulises Montes De Oca for over 15 years. Throughout our many projects together, Ulises has consistently demonstrated exceptional creativity, professionalism, and a strong understanding of thoughtful, functional design. What has always stood out to me is his ability to bring innovative ideas to a project while remaining focused on the client’s vision and the practical realities of development. He is a talented designer, a collaborative partner, and someone I have trusted for many years to help bring our projects from concept to reality. I have greatly valued our long-standing working relationship and would highly recommend Ulises to anyone looking for an experienced, creative, and innovative design professional.

  Ulises was a true visionary and lead architect for two of my projects when I was previously with a national multifamily developer. These projects produced two of the most iconic buildings in our region. Ulises has a talent for designing high quality buildings with a great aesthetic, while controlling cost and staying within budget. Ulises also is a great problem solver, with a great ability to fit buildings into tight urban environments and overcome complex challenges. Coordination with other design professionals is also a forte for Ulises, as all of the other design teams involved in my projects enjoyed working with him and his team. I would highly recommend working with Ulises on any multifamily project.

 I’ve had the opportunity to work with Ulises and have been consistently impressed by his combination of experience, creativity, and business-minded approach to architecture and planning.  He brings a deep understanding of the housing market to his work, translating market realities and opportunities into thoughtful, innovative design solutions. He is driven, smart, and highly experienced, but equally important, he is someone who is genuinely easy to work with. He listens, collaborates well, and brings a practical, solutions-oriented perspective to every project.  I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, creative, and market-savvy approach to housing planning and design.

  Working with Ulises was a great experience. His extensive knowledge, years of professional experience, and deep understanding of our particular projects put me at ease, knowing the project was in good hands. He brought a calm, composed, and thoughtful approach to each project, inspiring confidence and making even complex ideas easy to understand. He has wonderful presentation skills, clear communication, and the ability to articulate design concepts effectively. A true professional who combines expertise and experience. He would be a great choice for anyone seeking architectural services of the highest standard.

 Plenty of architects will design you something beautiful that you can't afford to build. Ulises doesn't work that way. He understands that a developer's budget isn't an opening position to be negotiated down over the course of a project — it's the thing the entire deal stands on. He designs to it from the first sketch, and the result never reads as a compromise. He's also easy to work with: responsive, no ego about his own drawings, and quick to find a path forward when something changes. We've handed him difficult sites and tight numbers, and he's delivered every time. He has become one of the first calls we make when a new project comes across my desk, and I recommend him without reservation.

Kevin Codey, President, Danbro Properties

 I am certain that Ulises Montes de Oca will be successful as his design contribution for Uniwest on our several large projects demonstrated. I appreciate the creativity and responsiveness that he provided. It is always nice to have an interesting design but the greatest value was the constructability and reliability of his team's construction documents.  I wish Ulises the best and look forward to working with him on future projects.
