Description

Tandem has built an impressive portfolio scaling from single-family homes to a 200-unit high-rise in Chicago's competitive market. To explain why Crain’s took notice with a recent article about the firm, co-founders Tony Andrews and Dimitri Nassis share their remarkable journey with host Phil Coover. After reconnecting in an airport, the childhood friends partnered on their first profitable single-family project. “It was just very simple for me,” Tony recalls. “The accounting was simple. It's pluses and minuses and a little bit of division.” The duo expanded into multifamily developments, weathering the recession of ‘08 and Covid shut-downs. Tune in for their insights about vertical integration in development, the hidden profit strategies some general contractors use, and prioritizing transparency over traditional bidding battles.
