URB stands for Urbanización (urbanization), an address abbreviation.

Address line used in Puerto Rico for the name of an urbanization, a residential development, because streets in neighboring developments often share names. USPS requires it in many San Juan area addresses.

Example: URB Las Gladiolas, 150 Calle A, San Juan, PR 00926

Usage notes

Leaving out the URB line can send mail to a same-named street in a neighboring development. Urbanizaciones are similar to US subdivisions.
