Jason Townes
Founder
Jason has been a Fremantle local since the 70s and is passionate about the area and being a conscious member of his community. Starting out in the fresh food industry, Jason now has a range of small businesses across the building, construction and hospitality industries. His journey with Urban Fabric began in 2003 when he purchased a property and unknowingly inherited 12 lodgers along with it. With his mum a qualified social worker, he knew he needed to do something more and created the first Urban Fabric property in Fremantle. Nearly 20 years on and six properties later, he is making a difference for those that need an affordable place of a high standard to live in the Fremantle area.

We wanted to create places that encouraged neighbours to get to know each other, through clustered pedestrian paths and shared facilities. It is the people who live and work at Urban Fabric who bring these spaces to life.
