Due to the proximity of nearby I-270 and growth of the Villages of Urbana and the creation of the Urbana Corporate Center, Urbana has quickly become a favorable enclave for both housing and business. As of 2016, Urbana is home to the Fannie Mae Data Center and is the current headquarters for Legal & General America. There is also a market located on Sugarloaf Parkway where people can shop.
 
Urbana offers many walking trails and small parks throughout the villages, making it possible to go almost anywhere in the town completely by foot. Urbana also offers basketball courts, tennis courts, and dozens of smaller parks and small bench areas in almost every neighborhood.
 
The Fannie Mae Regional Data Center was the first building constructed in the Urbana Corporate Center. Built-in 2004, the facility is a 220,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art office and data center facility with 90,000 sq. ft. of office space, a 60,000 sq. ft. data center, and a 70,000 sq. ft. MEP facility. The Fannie Mae Data Center was one of the first data centers in the country to receive LEED certification which included sediment control and stormwater management credits.
